Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 425°F and position a rack in the center. In a large mixing
  bowl, whisk together the oil, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano,
  cumin, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt until well combined. Add the
  cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is
  evenly coated in the seasoned oil mixture.
• 2 Arrange the cauliflower florets cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet,
  spreading them out in a single layer. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the
  cauliflower is deeply caramelized on the bottom and fork-tender at the center.
  Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes directly on the baking
  sheet.
• 3 While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the crema. In a small bowl, mix the vegan
  sour cream with 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir
  until smooth, then cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble the tacos.
• 4 In another bowl, combine the red cabbage, white cabbage, red onion, 1/4 cup
  chopped cilantro, the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and the remaining
  1/2 teaspoon of salt. Toss well and set aside at room temperature to allow the
  flavors to meld.
• 5 To assemble the tacos, spoon a generous portion of slaw into each warmed corn
  tortilla. Add three to four roasted cauliflower florets on top, followed by a
  drizzle of lime crema. Sprinkle with additional cilantro for a fresh burst of
  flavor and color. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
