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.
Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Lime Avocado Crema
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Roasted Cauliflower:
- 1 large head of cauliflower, broken into florets
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chile powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Avocado Lime Crema:
- 1 large avocado, halved
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
To serve:
- 8 corn tortillas, warmed
- ½ red onion, sliced and pickled
- ½ cup Queso fresco cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- 2 limes, juiced
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place a rack in lowest position; preheat oven to 450°
- Arrange cauliflower on a large baking sheet and add paprika, chili powder, onion powder, salt and olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast for 35-45 minutes until cauliflower is browned all over, stirring halfway through to cook evenly.
While the cauliflower is roasting, make the crema:
