Instructions:
Cut a cauliflower into bite-sized florets and toss them in a bowl with olive oil and taco seasoning.

Once done, fill each tortilla with the roasted cauliflower and your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, and cheese. Serve!
Recipe Tips
Don’t Overcrowd: When placing the cauliflower on the baking sheet, make sure they’re in a single layer. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting, affecting the desired texture.
Tailor the Taco Seasoning: Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to match your spice preference. Like it hot? Add a bit more seasoning. Prefer a milder taste? Use a touch less.
Balance the Flavors: Taste as you go. Adjust the seasoning or toppings to balance the flavors to your liking. Sometimes, a dash of salt or a squeeze of citrus can make all the difference.
