07

Stir again and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly crispy. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions. (3 minutes)

09

Step
5 mins

Spoon the air-fried cauliflower and chickpea mixture into the warm corn tortillas. Top with the cilantro-lime crema and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the spice mixture.
If you don't have an air fryer, you can roast the cauliflower and chickpeas in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the crema to suit your spice preference. A dash of honey can also balance the heat.
Feel free to add other toppings like diced avocado, pickled onions, or a sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese.
Make sure don't overcrowd the air fryer for best results.
