Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Toss cauliflower with olive oil, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Air fry at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking halfway, until charred and crispy.
- 3
Blend avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and salt until smooth.
- 4
Warm tortillas. Fill with crispy cauliflower, avocado crema, pickled onions, and cilantro.
- 5
Squeeze lime over the top and serve.
Tip: Get the cauliflower really charred — the smoky, crispy edges are what make these tacos work. Undercooked cauliflower in a taco is disappointing.
