Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Sliced avocado for topping (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the Cauliflower: Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender. Toss halfway through for even cooking.
- Add Teriyaki Sauce: Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle with teriyaki sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower is roasting, warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

- Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately.
