  • 2 tbsp grapeseed oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 5 cup cauliflower florets, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 2 tbsp minced red onion
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup canned refried beans
  • 3/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
