Calories: 260kcal
Ingredients
- Creamy crema: Greek yogurt or sour cream mixed with lime juice a bit of cilantro, and salt. For dairy-free, swap in almond yogurt or a vegan mayo version.
- Cabbage confetti: Thinly sliced purple cabbage for color and crunch. A quick toss with a splash of lime and a pinch of salt wakes it up.
- Fresh salsa: Pico de gallo or a charred tomato salsa adds brightness without weighing things down.
- Herbs and heat: Chopped cilantro a dash of jalapeño or hot sauce, and a squeeze of lime. IMO, lime juice is the secret seasoning here.
- Texture boosters: Crushed tortilla chips or roasted pepitas add a satisfying crunch.
Instructions
- – Preheat to a hot 425°F (220°C). Yes, high heat is your best friend here.
- – Cut into bite-sized florets that aren’t too small; you want texture, not mush.
- – Toss with olive oil, a pinch of salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lime.
- – Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet. Don’t crowd the pan.
- – Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway. You’re aiming for edges that look bronzed and a center that still has a bite.
- – Optional: broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra crisp.
- – Warm them right: Briefly char on a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side to improve pliability.
- – Small tortillas, big impact: Aim for 6-inch tortillas so you don’t overwhelm the cauliflower filling.
