Ingredients

    1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

    2 cups (500 mL) cooked green lentils

    3 Tbsp (45 mL) fresh lime juice, divided

    2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) chili powder

    2 tsp (10 mL) cumin

    1 tsp (5 mL) coriander

    1 tsp (5 mL) salt

    1 tsp (5 mL) sugar

    1/2 tsp (2 ml) garlic powder

    1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper

    1/3 cup (75 mL) sour cream

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish

    1 tsp (5 mL) hot sauce

    10 corn or flour tortillas

    OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

    2 avocados, diced

    1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced radish

    1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled Feta cheese

    salsa


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cauliflower on one baking sheet. Add the lentils to the other baking sheet and pat them dry.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp (30 mL) lime juice, oil, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and pepper. Pour 3 Tbsp (45 mL) of the lime mixture onto the cauliflower and stir well, making sure the cauliflower is evenly coated. Roast for 30-35 minutes, until golden, stirring halfway through.
  4. Add remaining lime mixture to the lentils. Stir well to ensure the lentils are evenly coated. Add the lentils to the oven after the cauliflower has roasted for 15 minutes. Roast for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly crispy and golden.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together sour cream, cilantro, 1 Tbsp (15 mL) lime juice, and hot sauce. Set aside.
  6. Fill the tortillas with a scoop or two of the lentils, cauliflower, cilantro, avocado, and radish. Drizzle the tacos with the sour cream mixture. Add Feta cheese and salsa. Serve immediately.
