DIRECTIONS:

Sauce:

Using a fork, mix chile, garlic, cashew butter, lime juice, and 3 Tbsp water in a small bowl to combine; season with salt. Set aside.

Assembly:

Place a rack in the lowest position; preheat oven to 450 degrees. Stir garlic, oil, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl to combine. Arrange cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and pour spiced oil over. Season with salt and toss to evenly coat cauliflower. Roast, undisturbed until dark brown and crisp on the bottom, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and turn florets over. Continue to roast until second side is dark brown and crisp, 15-20 minutes.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, toast tortillas in a single layer, turning halfway through, until warmed through, about 1 minute total. Transfer to plates.

Spread each tortilla with some reserved sauce; top with cauliflower. Garnish with onion, avocado, radishes and cilantro. Service with lime wedges for squeezing over.
