Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 chipotle peppers from canned chipotles in adobo sauce
- 8 tortillas
- 1 medium avocado
- cilantro
- 1 lime
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 7 ounces full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 chipotle pepper (from the can used above)
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the cauliflower and drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Working over the baking sheet, use your hands to break up 2 chipotle peppers, along with some of the adobo sauce. Toss again to coat the cauliflower and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Make the chipotle yogurt sauce: In a small food processor, combine the yogurt, chipotle pepper, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, honey, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, and lime juice as desired.
- Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of sauce, the roasted cauliflower, and a slice of avocado. Serve with the cilantro and lime slices on the side.
