Instructions
  1. Cut the cauliflower into florets and dice the onion, then set aside
  2. preheat oven to 400.
  3. in a sauce pan, heat the stock, beer, garlic, tamari, hot sauce and lime juice. Add the cauliflower and simmer for 3-4 minutes, making sure to press down the cauliflower into the hot liquid.
  4. While the cauliflower is cooking, mix the dry spices along with the avocado oil in a bowl.
  5. With a slotted spoon remove the cauliflower from the pot and place into the bowl with the spices. Add the diced onion.
  6. mix well until everything is coated.
  7. Spread out onto a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Check half way through and mix the cauliflower so it will brown evenly.
  8. Heat the tortillas on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack for 3-4 minutes. If you have a toaster oven that would be better since the oven might be too hot.
  9. Assemble the tacos. Spoon about ¼c of the roasted cauliflower and onion onto a tortilla then top with ¼c of the slaw, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime.
  10. enjoy!
