Cauliflower FloretsUse one medium head, cut into uniform, small bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting and perfect wrap fitting.
Canned ChickpeasDrain and rinse them thoroughly; they add necessary protein and a creamy counter-texture to the crispy cauliflower.
Chili Powder BlendThis forms the base of the savory seasoning; choose a high-quality blend for maximum flavor depth.
Smoked Paprika and CuminThese spices enhance the roasted flavor profile, adding necessary warmth and a smoky undertone to the vegetables.
Olive or Avocado OilUsed for roasting the vegetables, this oil must handle high heat to achieve that desirable crisp exterior.
Plant-Based Mayonnaise or YogurtThis creates the creamy base for the dressing; ensure it is plain and unsweetened for the best results.
Fresh Lime JuiceCrucial for the vibrant, zesty flavor; always use freshly squeezed juice for superior taste.

Notes

For optimal texture, store the fully prepared filling in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but wait to combine it with the lime dressing until you are ready to assemble the wraps to keep the cauliflower from becoming soft.
If you have leftovers, avoid the microwave and instead reheat the filling briefly in a 350°F oven or air fryer to restore the desirable crispness of the roasted cauliflower.
Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for the dressing; the brighter acidity is crucial to cut through the richness of the smoky spices and truly bring the ‘chili-lime’ flavor profile alive.
Boost the textural experience by integrating the optional diced red onion and shredded lettuce, which add a refreshing crunch and sharpness to balance the hearty, warm filling.
