Make

Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
Toss cauliflower with olive oil. Add Cajun taco spice mix (portion for the cauliflower). Spread cauliflower out on a sheet pan (use two pans if needed to prevent crowding) and roast until golden brown and tender, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, 25 to 30 minutes.
When cauliflower is nearly finished, transfer tilapia to oven and cook until it flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness).
Squeeze lime juice (portion for the cauliflower) over cauliflower.
Warm tortillas according to package directions.
Season slaw with some salt.
Assemble tacos by filling tortillas with slaw, fish, avocados and cilantro. Add some hot sauce if you'd like. Enjoy cauliflower on the side.
