1-Whipping up cauliflower nachos is a breeze, starting with preheating your oven to 420°F. Begin by chopping one head of cauliflower into florets and tossing them with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, taco seasoning, and salt. This setup ensures a flavorful base that’s both crispy and delicious.

2-Spread the seasoned florets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until they’re golden and tender. While that’s happening, prepare your toppings: drain and rinse a 15-ounce can of black beans, slice one jalapeño, dice one tomato and one avocado, chop one scallion, and measure out 1/4 cup of pickled red onions and fresh cilantro. For the sauce, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon plain yogurt, and sriracha to taste.

3-Once the cauliflower is out of the oven, push the florets together on the sheet, then add the black beans, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and jalapeño slices on top. Pop it back in the oven until the cheese melts perfectly. Finally, top with the diced tomato, avocado, scallion, cilantro, pickled red onions, and that zesty sauce for a complete, mouthwatering dish.
