Ingredients

For the Tacos

  • 1 medium cauliflower head, broken into florets
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or high-heat oil of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage

For the Avocado Sauce

  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
  • ¼ cup unsweetened and unflavored non-dairy milk, plus more as needed
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the cauliflower florets into a large mixing bowl. Add the oil, cornstarch, cumin, ancho chile powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Stir the ingredients together, then use your hands to evenly distribute the oil, cornstarch, spices and salt on the cauliflower.
  • Arrange the cauliflower florets in an even layer on each of the baking sheets and place them in the oven. Roast the cauliflower until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • While the cauliflower roasts, make the sauce by placing all ingredients into a blender or food processor bowl and blending until smooth. Thin with additional milk and season with salt to taste.
  • Warm the tortillas briefly in a lightly oiled skillet until they begin to crisp.
  • When the cauliflower comes out of the oven season it with additional salt to taste.
  • Stuff the tortillas with cauliflower, shredded cabbage, and avocado sauce.
  • Serve.
