These tacos are everything I want in a weeknight dinner โ colorful, crisp, and layered with flavor. Roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower get caramelized and golden in the oven, then piled into warm tortillas with a dreamy avocado lime slaw thatโs equal parts creamy and zippy.
Theyโre bright. Theyโre bold. And they absolutely donโt chicken out.
๐ Ingredients
For the Roasted Veggies:
2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cups cauliflower florets
2 tbsp olive oil (or Graza โSizzleโ ๐ฟ)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
ยฝ tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Avocado Lime Slaw:
1 ripe avocado
2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix (mix of purple, green, carrots)
Juice of 1 lime
Chopped cilantro
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Pinch of garlic powder, cumin + sea salt
To Serve:
6โ8 small tortillas (corn or flour)

๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ณ Instructions
1. Roast the Veggies
Preheat oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC).
Toss sweet potato cubes and cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25โ30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and golden at the edges.
2. Make the Slaw
In a medium bowl, mash the avocado. Whisk in lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, garlic powder, cumin, and salt.
Fold in shredded cabbage / coleslaw mix and mix until coated. Set aside.
3. Warm the Tortillas
Heat your tortillas in a dry skillet for 20โ30 seconds on each side or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven.
4. Assemble the Tacos
Layer each tortilla with a scoop of roasted veggies, a generous spoonful of avocado lime slaw, and a squeeze of lime. Add hot sauce if you like a little heat.
๐ฟ Make It Yours:
Add crispy chickpeas or black beans for extra protein.
Toss in pickled onions or radishes for crunch.
Swap slaw for guac if youโre short on cabbage.
These tacos are a total crowd-pleaser โ cozy enough for a solo night in, but fun and flavorful enough to serve to friends. I love them with a fizzy lime seltzer or iced hibiscus tea on the side.
