Gather the following ingredients
For these tacos, you'll need one large cauliflower (cut into florets), two tablespoons olive oil, one teaspoon each of cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, half a teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste), and salt. Also, eight corn tortillas, one cup of sliced red cabbage, one avocado (sliced), half a cup of cilantro leaves for garnish, and lime wedges for serving.
Prepare the cauliflower
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil in a large bowl until evenly coated. Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, chili powder, and salt; toss until well-coated. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in an even layer. Roast for about 25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Warm tortillas
While your cauliflower is roasting in the oven, warm your corn tortillas to make them pliable and more flavorful. You can do this by heating them directly over an open flame on your stove for about 15 seconds per side or by wrapping them in foil and placing them in the oven alongside your cauliflower for about five minutes.
Assemble your tacos
Once your cauliflower has roasted and tortillas are warmed, it's time to assemble the tacos. Place roasted cauliflower onto each tortilla, add slices of avocado on top, and sprinkle with red cabbage for crunch. Optionally, you can introduce additional toppings like diced tomatoes or a spoonful of vegan yogurt sauce for extra flavor. This combination creates a delightful mix of textures and tastes.
Serve with garnishes
Garnish each taco with fresh cilantro leaves before serving. Accompany with lime wedges, allowing everyone to add a squeeze of lime juice to taste. This introduces an extra layer of freshness, beautifully complementing the other flavors. Enjoy these Indian spiced cauliflower tacos as a vibrant fusion of Indian spices and Mexican culinary traditions, all in a vegetarian and eggless meal.
