Cauliflower florets roast until browned and tender, seasoned with chili and cumin, then piled into warm tortillas with a tangy cabbage slaw. A drizzle of chipotle crema ties it together, making these tacos a satisfying meatless option for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chipotle crema
  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed
  • 1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast, stirring once halfway through, until browned and tender.

  4. While the cauliflower roasts, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, and cilantro in a medium bowl.

  5. Whisk together the lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then pour over the cabbage and toss to coat. Set the slaw aside to marinate while the cauliflower finishes roasting.

  6. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and heat in the oven for the last 5 minutes of roasting.

  7. Divide the roasted cauliflower among the warm tortillas and top each with a spoonful of slaw.

  8. Drizzle with chipotle crema and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.

  9. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
