Suya spice usually flavors grilled meat, but roasted cauliflower takes it on just as well — the peanut, cayenne, and ginger blend clings to the florets and turns genuinely crisp at the edges once roasted hot. Folded into tortillas the way you'd build any taco, it's a meatless version that doesn't taste like it's missing anything.

Every ingredient here is plant-based, from the cauliflower to the mango slaw, which is why this taco is tagged vegan. It's also a relatively light meal built around vegetables and fruit rather than heavy fats or refined carbs, which lines it up with a weight-loss-friendly way of eating without the dish making any bigger claim than that.

Roast the cauliflower at a genuinely high heat, 425°F, and don't crowd the pan, or it'll steam instead of char. The mango slaw needs nothing more than a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt to bring the sweetness and acidity together against the spiced cauliflower.
