Cut the Cauliflower: Begin by removing the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into florets, making sure the pieces are small enough to cook evenly in the air fryer.
Season the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the florets well to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Air Fry the Cauliflower: Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the cauliflower in batches. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. The cauliflower should be golden brown and crispy on the edges when done.

Prepare the Tortillas: While the cauliflower is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this in the microwave, on a hot skillet, or in the oven. Just warm them up for about 30 seconds until soft and pliable.
Prepare the Toppings: Slice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and prepare any other toppings you’d like. If using slaw, feel free to make a simple cabbage slaw with shredded cabbage, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Assemble the Tacos: Once the cauliflower is crispy and golden, it’s time to assemble your tacos. Take each warm tortilla and layer it with a generous portion of the crispy cauliflower. Top with your preferred toppings like avocado, cilantro, slaw, salsa, or a drizzle of vegan sour cream. Add a squeeze of lime juice and, if desired, some hot sauce for extra flavor.

Serve: Serve the Air Fryer Cauliflower Tacos immediately, while the cauliflower is still warm and crispy. Enjoy with a side of your favorite salsa, chips, or a fresh salad.
