Roasted Cauliflower Tacos

Roasted cauliflower tacos are seasoned with a hint of cumin and packed with chickpeas. The prep for these tacos is mostly for the toppings – which are the best part!! Creamy chipotle mayo adds a little spice, quick-pickled red onions give tang to each bite and, of course, avocado, cheese and cilantro.
