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 thatโ€™s equal parts creamy and zippy.

Theyโ€™re bright. Theyโ€™re bold. And they absolutely donโ€™t chicken out.

๐Ÿ›’ Ingredients

For the Roasted Veggies:

  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 3 cups cauliflower florets

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or Graza โ€œSizzleโ€ ๐ŸŒฟ)

  • 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:

  • 6โ€“8 small tortillas (corn or flour)

  • Extra lime wedges

  • Hot sauce or salsa (optional)

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ 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 25โ€“30 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 20โ€“30 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.

๐ŸŒฟ 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 youโ€™re 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.
