Recipe type: dinner
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1½ teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or canola oil
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, visible fat trimmed
  • SIDES:
  • ¼ red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 ripe avocados, chopped or mashed into avocado cream*
  • 2-4 cups baby spinach or lettuce
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Jarred salsa or Sriracha sauce
  • 8-12 corn tortillas (make sure gluten-free if needed)
Instructions
  1. Position racks in lower and upper part of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a small prep bowl, combine spices: chili powder through salt.
  3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, add cauliflower and season with 4 teaspoons of the spice mixture. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil.
  4. Roast cauliflower for 20-25 minutes on the lower level in the oven, tossing once or twice, until soft and lightly browned.
  5. Meanwhile, rub pork with the remaining spice mixture.
  6. Heat the other tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and pan sear for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until starting to brown on all sides.
  7. Transfer the skillet with the pork to the upper rack in the oven. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reads 150 degrees. Transfer to a meat cutting board and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Slice pork into thin strips and serve family style alongside the rest of the taco ingredients.
Notes
*To make avocado cream, mash avocado with ¼ cup dairy free or regular sour cream or greek yogurt. Add a little lime juice and minced garlic if desired.
