• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 avocado, sliced (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced mushrooms and cauliflower florets. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
3. Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the mushrooms are golden brown, stirring halfway through.

5. Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the roasted mushroom and cauliflower mixture, then drizzle with the zesty lime crema. Add optional toppings like avocado slices and pickled onions.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
