Thank you to our food contributor CatwithaK Cooks for sharing this delicious plant-based taco recipe with us. Introducing new vegetables (like cauliflower) to kids can be tricky. Experts recommend serving it in a form they are familiar with (in this case, tacos). Try it for Taco Tuesday, or anytime you need a quick, nutritious meal.

- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chile powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil

- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
To serve:
- 8 corn tortillas, warmed

Directions:
