Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Extra BBQ sauce, for drizzling on top

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Season the Cauliflower: In a spacious mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each floret is thoroughly coated with the spices and oil for maximum flavor.

      Roast the Cauliflower: Transfer the seasoned cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and has developed a lovely caramelized color. Make sure to toss the florets halfway through the cooking time for uniform roasting.

        Add BBQ Sauce: Once the cauliflower is roasted to perfection, pull it out of the oven and drizzle the BBQ sauce over the hot florets. Toss gently to ensure all of the cauliflower is coated with the tangy sauce.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower is roasting, take a dry skillet and place it over medium heat. Warm each tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they become pliable. This helps ease the rolling process.

            Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the BBQ cauliflower mixture among the tortillas, leaving some space around the edges for easy rolling. On top of the cauliflower, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, fresh spinach leaves, and a few slices of red onion.

              Roll Them Up: To form the wraps, fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to the top, ensuring that the filling stays contained. Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down on the baking sheet.

                Melt the Cheese (Optional): For an indulgent finish, pop the assembled wraps back into the oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the wraps are heated through.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Slice each wrap in half to reveal the colorful filling. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce, if desired, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor and color. Serve warm for the best experience.
