Ingredients

  • 1 medium head Cauliflower (Notes: cut into bite-sized florets)
  • 2 large Eggs (Notes: helps breadcrumbs stick)
  • 1 packet Taco seasoning (Notes: about 30 grams)
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Notes: preferably panko)
  • 8 small Tortillas (Notes: corn or flour)
  • 0.25 small Red cabbage (Notes: finely shredded)
  • 0.25 whole Avocado (Notes: deseeded and thinly sliced)
  • 0.25 cup Dairy-free Greek-style yoghurt (Notes: for spicy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (Notes: for spicy sauce)
  • Lime juice (Notes: to taste)
  • Salt and pepper (Notes: to taste)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs.
  3. 3
    In another bowl, mix the taco seasoning with the breadcrumbs.
  4. 4
    Add the cauliflower florets to the beaten eggs and toss well to ensure all pieces are coated.
  5. 5
    Dip each piece of cauliflower into the breadcrumb mixture until well-coated.
  6. 6
    Arrange the breaded cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  7. 7
    While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the spicy yoghurt sauce by mixing the dairy-free yoghurt, sriracha, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  8. 8
    Warm the tortillas in a dry frying pan or microwave.
  9. 9
    Assemble the tacos by adding red cabbage, avocado, and roasted cauliflower to each tortilla. Drizzle with the spicy yoghurt sauce and serve immediately with lime wedges.

Tips & Variations:

  • You can make this recipe vegan by substituting the eggs with a slurry of water and cornflour.
  • For gluten-free options, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and corn tortillas.
  • These tacos reheat well; just reheat the cauliflower bites first.
