Ingredients:

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Corn tortillas

Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a batter.
  3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure it's evenly coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the cauliflower is baking, warm your corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  6. Once the cauliflower is done, assemble your tacos by filling each tortilla with a generous helping of crispy cauliflower and your favorite taco toppings.
