Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets

1 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand or make your own)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Optional: sliced jalapeños for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well until the cauliflower is evenly coated with the spices and oil.

      Roast the Cauliflower: Transfer the seasoned cauliflower florets onto the lined baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer for even roasting. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly caramelized. Remember to toss the florets halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.

        Add BBQ Sauce: Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and drizzle ½ cup of BBQ sauce over the hot florets. Gently toss the cauliflower to coat it in the sauce, then return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. This step will allow the BBQ sauce to adhere to the cauliflower and develop a rich flavor.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower is finishing up in the oven, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they are pliable and warm, but not crispy.

            Assemble the Wraps: Once the BBQ cauliflower is done and has cooled slightly, it's time to assemble your wraps. Lay each tortilla flat and start with a generous handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens. Next, add a portion of the BBQ cauliflower, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and finish with slices of fresh avocado.

              Fold and Serve: To wrap, fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Serve your wraps immediately, accompanied by the remaining BBQ sauce for dipping. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, top the wraps with sliced jalapeños before serving.
