Sheet-pan cauliflower tacos with halloumi and black beans are an easy, flavor-packed vegetarian dinner that comes together on a single pan. Roasted cauliflower gets golden and tender alongside salty halloumi and creamy black beans, creating the perfect taco filling with minimal effort.

Notes
- Nutrition values are an estimate only!
- Be sure to chop your cauliflower and halloumi into similar-sized pieces for even roasting and a better taco-eating experience.
- Want to prep this recipe in advance? The cauliflower can be chopped and seasoned up to a day ahead of time. Just keep in an airtight container in the fridge and spread out on your sheet-pan when you're ready to roast.
- To reheat leftovers I find that a gentle reheat in the microwave is your best bet.
- Want to make vegan tacos? You can either leave the halloumi out since the beans will take care of you the protein department, or you can swap in tofu instead.
- Need to make these gluten-free? All you need is gluten-free tortillas, my friend.
