Ingredients & Substitutions
Cauliflower is such a great base for these tacos, and it’s so good for you! If you're not a fan of cilantro, try using fresh parsley instead. And make sure to taste your seasoning as you go; everyone's spice tolerance is a little different! You can also use store-bought taco seasoning if you’re short on time.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor!
- •If you want a bit more heat, throw in some diced jalapeños when you roast the cauliflower.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add black beans for extra protein and fiber.
- •You could also use roasted sweet potatoes instead of cauliflower for a different kind of sweetness.
Storage & Freezing
These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the roasted cauliflower in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat and assemble the tacos when you're ready!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can roast the cauliflower ahead of time, just reheat it in the oven or a skillet before serving. The tortillas are best warmed just before eating.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). It’s important to get it nice and hot for roasting.

In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Make sure every piece is well coated.

Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they’re in a single layer.

Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly crispy on the edges. Give them a stir halfway through.

While the cauliflower is roasting, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until they’re pliable.

Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle with fresh lime juice.
