Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 small red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 small yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

4 large whole grain tortillas or wraps

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt, for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot enough for roasting the vegetables.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with the extra-virgin olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss thoroughly until the cauliflower is evenly coated in the spice mixture.

      Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is crispy and golden brown. Be sure to toss the florets halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

        Sauté the Peppers and Onions: While the cauliflower is roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers along with the red onion. Sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and beautifully charred. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.

          Warm the Tortillas: With about 5-10 minutes remaining on the cauliflower, wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven to warm up. Alternatively, you can warm them on the skillet for a few seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

            Assemble the Wraps: Once the cauliflower is perfectly roasted and the peppers and onions are sautéed, it’s time to assemble your wraps. On each tortilla, place a generous scoop of crispy roasted cauliflower, followed by a hearty serving of the sautéed pepper and onion mix. Add a few slices of creamy avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

              Serve: Finish off each wrap with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling to enclose everything and repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.

                Enjoy: Serve the wraps warm with additional lime wedges on the side. Dive into your delightful Crispy Roasted Cauliflower Fajita Wraps and savor the vibrant flavors!
