Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Cauliflower and Chickpeas: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets and chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well coated.
Roast: Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.
Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower and chickpeas are roasting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, accompanied by extra lime wedges and your favorite salsa.
