Trim off the outer leaves of the cauliflower and remove the core.

Break the cauliflower into florets, then cut them into smaller pieces for tacos.

Transfer the cauliflower to a deep pot and pour in about 6 cups of boiling water.

Cover with a lid and let it steam for 10 minutes.

Move the softened cauliflower into a bowl using a slotted spoon or drain it in a colander.

Season the cauliflower with black pepper and salt to taste while it's still warm.

Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and gently toss everything together.

Spread the cauliflower on parchment paper in an even layer.

Slide it into a Ninja air fryer and cook for about 15 minutes at 350°F.

To make the creamy sauce, add 3/4 cup of yogurt to a bowl.

Stir 2 tablespoons of tahini into the yogurt.

Squeeze the juice of 1 lime into the mixture, using a citrus press.

Add 2 large garlic cloves, adjusting to taste, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.

Season with a little salt and stir until smooth and well blended.

Thinly slice enough iceberg lettuce to make about 2 cups and chop a small handful of fresh cilantro.

Slice the cornichons into thin rounds.

To make the hot honey sauce, set a small saucepan over gentle heat and add 1/2 cup of honey.

Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of dried chili flakes and season with smoked paprika and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.

Warm everything together, stirring well.

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water until smooth.

Pour this mixture into the saucepan and add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until it thickens into a glossy glaze.

Pour the hot honey sauce over the roasted cauliflower and gently toss to coat.

Warm the tortillas and lay them out on a large board.

Spoon a little sauce onto each tortilla and spread it evenly.

Add a layer of shredded iceberg lettuce closer to the center of the tortilla.

Place sliced pickles on one side of the tortilla.

Add the cauliflower coated in the hot honey sauce on top of the lettuce and pickles.

Finish with a sprinkle of cilantro and fold the tacos gently in half.

Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
