Equipment
Ingredients
For the roasted cauliflower:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- 2 eggs
- 30 grams (1 packet) taco seasoning
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
For the spicy yoghurt sauce:
- ¼ cup dairy-free Greek-style yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- Lime juice to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
To assemble:
- 8 soft tacos corn or flour
- ¼ small red cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 small avocado sliced
- Lime wedges and coriander/cilantro to serve
Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
- In another bowl, mix the taco seasoning with the breadcrumbs.
- Add the cauliflower florets into the beaten eggs and toss well, ensuring all cauliflower pieces are coated. Add the cauliflower florets to the breadcrumb mixture one at a time, until well-covered. Repeat for all florets.
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for a few minutes. Arrange the breaded cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook the cauliflower for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the yoghurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine the dairy-free Greek-style yoghurt, sriracha, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the lime juice, salt, and pepper to your taste. Set aside.
- Assemble the Tacos. Warm the soft tacos in a dry frying pan or in the microwave for a few seconds. Add some thinly sliced red cabbage and a few slices of avocado and top with a few pieces of the roasted cauliflower in each taco. Drizzle with the spicy yoghurt sauce and serve immediately with lime wedges and fresh coriander (cilantro) on the side.

Notes
Oven-baked instructions: At step 3, instead place the pieces of cauliflower on a line baking tray and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
