Step 1

For the coconut-crusted cauliflower, preheat oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Combine shredded coconut, almond meal, garlic powder, chili powder, turmeric and sea salt in a bowl.

Step 3

Place coconut milk in another bowl.

Step 4

Chop cauliflower into florets.

Step 5

Coat each floret in the coconut milk and then dip in the shredded coconut mixture.

Step 6

Spread coated florets of cauliflower out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Bake for 35 minutes, until the outside is crisp and the cauliflower is soft.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare avocado crema by blending the avocado, coconut milk, garlic, lime juice and sea salt together in the food processor until creamy and smooth.

Step 9

Place avocado crema in a small plastic bag and squeeze toward one of the corners of the bag. Eventually, you’ll snip a very small hole on one of the corners, right before you’re about to squeeze the crema over (in a few steps).

Step 10

For the mango cabbage slaw, chop purple cabbage finely, cut mango into small cubes and chop cilantro.

Step 11

Combine purple cabbage, mango and cilantro in a bowl together with lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, maple syrup and sea salt.

Next comes the assembly. Once the cauliflower is cooked, warm up tortillas for a few minutes in the oven.

Step 13

Place a layer of the mango cabbage slaw down the centre of each tortilla.

Step 14

Add some roasted cauliflower on top of each one.

Step 15

Snip a tiny hole in the corner of the bag and gently squeeze the avocado crema to drizzle over top.

Step 16

Garnish with fresh cilantro.
