Notes
- Fresh lime juice is ideal for cauliflower tacos. Bottled lime juice may leave an unpleasant aftertaste, whereas fresh lime juice is more bright and flavorful.
- Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan, or the cauliflower will steam instead of roast. If yours are small, use two sheet pans to keep the cauliflower florets crispy.
- If you’re not confident removing the avocado pit with a knife, you can pop it out by pressing the back of the avocado. The pit should pop right out.
- Use corn tortillas if you want to keep this cauliflower tacos recipe gluten-free.
- Make the avocado sauce spicy by adding some jalapeno (stem and seeds removed) to the food processor.
