Chili Lime Cauliflower Tacos - Vegan recipe hero image

There’s something about the combination of chili and lime that just makes my taste buds dance!

I remember the first time I made these tacos for a gathering; everyone was raving about them, and I felt so proud to share a dish that's not only vibrant but also packed with nutrients.

Plus, cauliflower is such a versatile veggie that soaks up all those wonderful flavors!

If you’ve got a head of cauliflower just hanging out in your fridge, let’s turn it into something special.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

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.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Assemble your tacos by placing a generous scoop of the roasted cauliflower on each tortilla. Top with avocado slices, cilantro, red onion, and a dollop of vegan vegan sour cream if using.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately and enjoy every bite!
