Add 1 pound of lentils to a large pot.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and cover, cooking for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.

After cooking, let the lentils steam with the lid on until no water remains.

Preheat skillet over medium-low heat and spray with avocado oil.

Add chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Add 1 bag of frozen cauliflower, breaking it up if it's stuck together, and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add 2 cups of cooked lentils, salt, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, and 1.5 tablespoons of coconut aminos to the skillet.

Mix everything well and add salsa, ensuring the tomato paste is fully incorporated.

Cook for 8-10 minutes until the cauliflower is no longer frozen and flavors meld together.

Assemble tacos with the lentil-cauliflower mixture and top with radishes, cilantro, and avocado.
