easyWhy tonight. Roast hard. Sauce is yogurt-lime.
What it needs
Nothing confirmed on your shelf yet — this list is the whole ask.
- cauliflower
- tortillas
- lime
- cumin
- yogurt
Good if you have them, fine if you do not: cilantro.
Method
- Roast the cauliflower at 220C in oil and cumin until there are genuinely dark, almost-burnt edges. Pale cauliflower makes a dull taco.
- Cut it so there are flat faces. Round florets touch the tray at one point and never color properly.
- Yogurt thinned with lime and salt as the sauce, spooned onto the tortilla before the filling.
- Char the tortillas dry over a flame. Lime and cilantro at the table, not in the kitchen.

Why each of these is on the list
What the ingredients are actually doing
- cauliflower
- Bland when boiled, excellent when browned.
- tortillas
- They want direct heat before they go anywhere near a plate.
- lime
- Sharper and more floral than lemon, and it fades faster — juice it the same hour you use it.
- cumin
- Earthy and slightly bitter, and it needs heat to open.
- yogurt
- Acid and creaminess together, which is why it works as a sauce with no cooking at all.
