Ingredients Needed

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup crumbled Queso Fresco
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.

While the cauliflower is roasting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Prepare your toppings by slicing the red onion and chopping the cilantro.

Once the cauliflower is roasted, assemble the tacos by placing a few pieces of cauliflower on each tortilla. Sprinkle generously with crumbled Queso Fresco, add sliced red onion, and top with chopped cilantro.

Squeeze lime juice over the tacos just before serving for a fresh, tangy flavor. Enjoy your flavorful vegetarian meal!
