Ingredients

For the Tacos

  • 1 medium head Cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 8 small Tortillas

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients.
  • Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
  • Drizzle olive oil over cauliflower and season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Roast the seasoned cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway for even cooking.
  • While the cauliflower roasts, blend cilantro, cashews, lime juice, and water until creamy. Adjust water for desired consistency.
  • Warm tortillas in a skillet for about 1-2 minutes per side or microwave for 15-20 seconds.
  • Assemble tacos by piling roasted cauliflower in each tortilla and drizzling with Cilantro Lime Crema.
