A recipe for vegetarian tacos featuring spicy roasted cauliflower.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned.
- Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions, either in a dry skillet or wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave.
- Fill each warm tortilla with the roasted spicy cauliflower.
- Top the tacos with crumbled cotija cheese, if using, and chopped cilantro.
