Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet
  • Mixing bowls

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle chiles in adobo)
  • 2 tsp. honey
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, sliced into 2" florets (about 6 cups)
  • 2 cups shaved red cabbage
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 6 tortillas, warmed
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, sliced

Garlic Aioli

  • 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and grated (using a microplane)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, adobo sauce, honey, paprika, cumin, and 1/2 tsp. salt; mix well. Add cauliflower florets and toss to coat.
    Arrange cauliflower on a large rimmed baking sheet (coated with parchment, if desired, for easy cleanup) in a single layer and roast, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp-tender, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare slaw by combining cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a medium bowl; toss well. (The slaw will slightly soften as it sits.)
  • Prepare Garlic Aioli by combining yogurt and grated garlic in a small bowl; mix well.
  • Assemble tacos by spreading Garlic Aioli on each tortilla. Top with chipotle-roasted cauliflower, slaw, and sliced avocado.

Notes

  • For a lower carb alternative, serve the toppings over chopped romaine and enjoy taco salad style.
  • For extra protein, add crispy chickpeas or canned refried black beans.
