Ingredients

















Method


  • 1Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with harissa paste, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly charred.


  • 2While cauliflower roasts, prepare the slaw. In a medium bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, julienned carrot, half of the chopped cilantro, and juice from half a lime. Season with salt and pepper; toss well to combine.


  • 3Next, make the mint-yogurt crema. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped mint, minced garlic, the remaining lime juice, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting flavor as needed.


  • 4Warm the corn tortillas. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and warm each tortilla for about 20-30 seconds per side, until pliable. Alternatively, wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave briefly.


  • 5Assemble the tacos by spooning roasted harissa cauliflower into the warm tortillas. Top with a generous portion of the crisp cabbage slaw.


  • 6Drizzle each taco with the mint-yogurt crema, then garnish with sliced avocado, the remaining fresh cilantro, and thin slices of red onion before serving.

Notes


  • For a vegan alternative, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based unsweetened yogurt in the crema.

  • Adjust the amount of harissa paste to control the level of heat according to your preference.

  • Add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for an extra salty tang if you're not keeping it strictly vegan.
