Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
  2. Whisk together oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt, pour over cauliflower florets and toss to coat.
  3. Spread out cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes on the center rack.
  4. While your cauliflower roasts, chop/grate your veggies and toppings and whisk together your sauces.
  5. For extra crispy tacos feel free to toast your tortillas in the oven or on a skillet, or serve them up as is if you like 'em soft! Both ways are fabulous.
  6. Line up your tortillas, stuff them with your veggies, pile with a few of your favorite taco toppings and drizzle with sauce, and stuff. yo. face! Enjoy!

Notes

  • This entire meal can be made in just over 30 minutes. The cauliflower itself takes 30 minutes to roast but since you'll be able to prep the entire spread (sauces, toppings, and all!) while it roasts, you'll be ready to go the second you snag the tray from the oven!
  • *I've been using harrissa or chipotle infused olive oils lately and LOVE the extra punch of flavor they offer (without making things too spicy)  You can pick them up everywhere from grocery stores to farmer's markets to specialty stores. They even sell them online! If you're looking to jazz things up in the kitchen, infused olive oils are a tasty, affordable option.
