Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh cauliflower for this recipe, as it really absorbs the spices beautifully. If you’re in a pinch, you could use frozen cauliflower florets—just make sure to thaw and drain them before seasoning. As for the tortillas, I usually go for corn, but you can use flour if that’s your jam!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to make extra spiced cauliflower and use it in salads or grain bowls for lunch the next day.
- •If you have any leftovers, store the roasted cauliflower separately from the tortillas to keep everything fresh.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, which pairs perfectly with the spices.
- •You can also swap the avocado for a cashew cream if you’re feeling fancy!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend keeping the cauliflower and tortillas separate to maintain their textures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other vegetables?
Absolutely! I've tried this with sweet potatoes and bell peppers, and they work wonderfully. Just adjust the roasting time as needed.
What can I do if I don't have cayenne pepper?
No worries! You can use chili powder or even leave it out if you prefer a milder flavor.

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 ready, assemble your tacos: place a generous amount of the spiced cauliflower on each tortilla.

Top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, red onion, and a drizzle of salsa.
- 8
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
