3 tablespoons taco seasoning

For the Tacos

8 6 inch corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese of your choice
Spray oil and flakey salt as needed

Avocado Crema

2 tablespoons seeded jalapeño chopped
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons sour cream
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

To make the Cauliflower

Break the cauliflower apart into small florets. Be sure to remove the leaves and tough stems. The florets need to be small enough you can easily add them to 6 inch tortillas.
Place the cauliflower in a bowl and toss with the oil and taco seasoning.
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees for 3 minutes. Add the seasoned cauliflower to the basket of the in a single layer. Cook for 7 minutes, shake the basket and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until crispy.

To make the Avocado Crema

Add the ingredients to a food processor and blend! If you do not have or do not want to use your food processor you can use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. Do a quick taste test and add any additional ingredients based on your preferences.

To Make the Tacos

Soft Shell Version: To serve the soft shells wrap the corn tortillas in a slightly damp, clean dish towel. Microwave the wrapped tortillas 45 seconds until they are warm and pliable. Add the fillings and enjoy! Or, using tongs warm the tortillas over an open flame until lightly browned and easily pliable.
Crispy Shell Version (my favorite):
To make perfect crispy corn tortillas heat a large skillet or griddle to medium high heat. Grease the skillet very liberally and add the tortillas.
Cook 2-3 minutes until they have begun to brown and flip. Add the cheese and cauliflower to one side. Fold the corn tortilla over the filling and press down with your spatula. Cook until golden brown on each side. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt.
