- 1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh-squeezed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup golden raisins
- 8 corn tortillas
- ¼ cup salsa macha, optional - click link for the recipe
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (use the convection setting, if available).
- Dice the cauliflower into small pieces. Toss with the olive oil, then taco seasoning.
- Arrange the seasoned cauliflower in an even layer on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, smash the avocado in a small bowl, then stir in the lime juice and salt. Set it aside.
- Wrap a stack of tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave for 30 seconds.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven when it’s golden brown and crispy. Toss in the almonds and raisins.
- Spread the smashed avocado in the middle of a warm tortilla. Top with the cauliflower filling, and salsa macha (optional).
Notes
- Leftover cauliflower filling can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days. To reheat the cauliflower, I recommend using an air fryer or the oven to get the crispiest texture. Reheat the cauliflower in an air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 400°F. If reheating the cauliflower in the oven, spread it out on a baking sheet and reheat it at 450°F (on convection, if available) for 4-5 minutes.
- To roast the cauliflower in an air fryer, instead of the oven, toss the chopped florets with the olive oil and taco seasoning, then arrange them in a single layer in an air fryer basket. If using an air fryer, you might have to cook the cauliflower in two batches. Air fry the cauliflower at 400°F for 7 minutes. Open the air fryer, toss the cauliflower, then cook for another 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- All of the ingredients in this recipe are gluten free, as long as you use corn tortillas. If purchasing store-bought taco seasoning, always check the label to make sure it’s gluten-free.
