Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Roasting
  1. Spread the cauliflower onto a baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  2. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and slightly caramelized.
Assembly
  1. While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare your toppings by slicing the red cabbage and chopping the fresh cilantro.
  2. If desired, mash the avocado with a sprinkle of lime juice.
  3. Once the cauliflower is done, wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and warm them in the oven for about 5 minutes.
  4. Assemble the tacos by placing a warm tortilla down, adding roasted cauliflower, then topping with red cabbage, avocado, and cilantro. Finish with a squeeze of lime.

For added protein, consider tossing black beans or chickpeas alongside the cauliflower. If desired, add cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños for heat. Substitute grilled veggies like bell peppers or sautéed mushrooms for variety. Ensure tortillas are plant-based for a vegan option.
