Notes
- Leftover cauliflower filling can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days. To reheat the cauliflower, I recommend using an air fryer or the oven to get the crispiest texture. Reheat the cauliflower in an air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 400°F. If reheating the cauliflower in the oven, spread it out on a baking sheet and reheat it at 450°F (on convection, if available) for 4-5 minutes.
- To roast the cauliflower in an air fryer, instead of the oven, toss the chopped florets with the olive oil and taco seasoning, then arrange them in a single layer in an air fryer basket. If using an air fryer, you might have to cook the cauliflower in two batches. Air fry the cauliflower at 400°F for 7 minutes. Open the air fryer, toss the cauliflower, then cook for another 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- All of the ingredients in this recipe are gluten free, as long as you use corn tortillas. If purchasing store-bought taco seasoning, always check the label to make sure it’s gluten-free.
