Ingredients For Cauliflower Wraps Recipe
Cauliflower: The star of the dish, providing a hearty and nutritious base for the wraps.
Olive oil: Used to coat the cauliflower, helping it roast to golden perfection.
Smoked paprika: Adds a smoky depth of flavor to the roasted cauliflower.
Garlic powder: Enhances the overall taste with a subtle garlic flavor.
Cumin: Provides a warm, earthy note that complements the other spices.
Tortillas: The wrap that holds all the delicious ingredients together.

Technique Tip for This Recipe
To achieve perfectly roasted cauliflower, make sure to spread the florets out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting, which will prevent the cauliflower from becoming golden and crispy.

How To Store / Freeze Your Wraps
Allow the roasted cauliflower to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the vegetables soggy.
Store the roasted cauliflower separately from the other wrap ingredients. Place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Keep the tortillas in their original packaging or wrap them in aluminum foil. Store them at room temperature if you plan to use them within a few days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
For the lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado, store them separately in airtight containers. The lettuce and tomatoes can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. The avocado should be used within 1-2 days to prevent browning.
To freeze the roasted cauliflower, spread the florets on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
When ready to use, thaw the cauliflower in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
Avoid freezing the tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado, as their textures can be compromised. Instead, prepare these fresh when assembling the wraps.
Assemble the wraps just before serving to maintain the best texture and flavor.
How To Reheat Leftovers
Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap each cauliflower wrap in aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Place them on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This method helps maintain the crispiness of the tortillas and the tenderness of the roasted cauliflower.
Skillet Method: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps in the skillet and cover with a lid to trap the heat. Warm each side for about 2-3 minutes. This method gives a nice, slightly crispy texture to the tortillas while keeping the vegetables fresh.
Microwave Method: Place the wraps on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, checking halfway through. This is the quickest method, but it may make the tortillas a bit softer.
Steamer Method: If you have a steamer, this is a great way to reheat without drying out the wraps. Place the wraps in the steamer basket and steam for about 5 minutes. This method keeps the vegetables moist and the tortillas pliable.
Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the wraps in the basket and heat for about 3-5 minutes. This method can help retain the crispiness of the tortillas while ensuring the cauliflower and other vegetables are warmed through.
