Skip the chips and use slabs of roasted cauliflower instead! I opted for these toppings because they were balanced and played well off each other, but you can change them up as you please.

Ingredients

Pickled Red Onion:

  • ½ large red onion, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon white sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 head cauliflower, outer leaves trimmed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Avocado Crema:

  • ½ avocado

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • 2 small limes, juiced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1 (15 ounce) can seasoned black beans

  • 1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes

  • ¼ cup crumbled queso fresco

  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place onion slices in a small colander. Bring 2 to 3 cups water to a boil in a kettle. Pour over onion and let drain.

  3. Mix vinegar, salt, sugar, and cumin together in a jar. Mix in onion slices. Cover and place in the refrigerator.

  4. Cut cauliflower in half from top to bottom. Place each half flat against the cutting board. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange carefully on the prepared baking sheet, trying to keep slices intact. Drizzle olive oil over cauliflower; season with salt and pepper.

  5. Roast cauliflower in the preheated oven until evenly browned, about 30 minutes.

  6. Combine avocado, sour cream, lime juice, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and salt in a blender. Blend until creamy and smooth.

  7. Heat black beans in a small saucepan until heated through, about 5 minutes.

  8. Spoon warmed beans over cauliflower. Dollop avocado crema over beans. Scatter pickled onion slices, cherry tomatoes, and queso fresco over crema. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
