Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Toss the cauliflower with the oil, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano and 0.5 tsp salt on a large tray.
- 2
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until tender with browned edges.
27 min 30 s - 3
Warm your ready made corn tortillas (see the base recipe) in a dry pan for 30 seconds each side.
- 4
Fill with the roast cauliflower and avocado.
- 5
Top with your ready made pickled red onions (see the base recipe), your creamy jalapeno cilantro sauce (see the base recipe) and coriander.
Tips
- Cut the florets small and even for good browning and crispy edges.
- Do not crowd the tray; use two if needed so the cauliflower roasts rather than steams.
- A squeeze of lime over the finished tacos lifts all the flavours.
Storing and freezing
Roast cauliflower keeps 3 days in the fridge; reheat until steaming hot. Assemble the tacos fresh.
Questions
Can I use broccoli instead?
Yes, roast florets for about 20 minutes until the edges char.
Is it spicy?
Mild. The sauce adds gentle heat; add chilli flakes to the cauliflower for more.
Are these vegan?
The cauliflower and tortillas are, but the sauce contains soured cream. Use a dairy free dressing for a vegan plate.
