Directions
Place a large GreenPan Frypan on the stovetop over medium-high heat and pour in the avocado oil. Once the oil is hot place the poblano pepper in the pan and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring or tossing occasionally, or until well seared and slightly charred in places. Stir in the cumin and salt and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until the cumin is very aromatic. Transfer the poblano to a medium mixing bowl and allow it to cool.
Add the cabbage, Primal Kitchen Cilantro Lime Dressing & Marinade, and cilantro to the bowl with the poblano and stir to combine. Taste and adjust as desired with salt. Transfer the slaw to the refrigerator while preparing the cauliflower.
In a large mixing bowl combine the cauliflower, Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo, and avocado oil, stirring until all the cauliflower is evenly coated. Wipe clean the Frypan used for the poblano and place it back on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Working in batches if needed, to ensure the frypan isn’t overcrowded (any more than a single even layer and the cauliflower won’t fully caramelize), sauté the cauliflower for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring or tossing occasionally, until cooked through and deeply golden brown. Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a large bowl and cover with foil to keep warm while the remaining cauliflower is cooking. Once all the cauliflower is cooked stir in the lime zest, taste, and adjust with more zest, salt, and pepper as desired.
To serve, fill each tortilla with a large spoonful of cauliflower followed by a bit more chipotle lime mayo and some of the slaw. Top with avocado, cilantro, radishes, and pepitas as desired, serving with lime wedges on the side.

Recipe Note
- For an extra kick, add half of a finely chopped medium jalapeño or serrano chili to the poblano peppers when sautéing!
- While the tortillas can simply be warmed in the oven or a microwave, we love putting them in a hot skillet or even placing them quickly on the flame of a gas range to warm them while also getting a bit of color.
