Nutritional yeast adds cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Prepare radicchio verde and iceberg lettuce to use as taco shells.

Chop cauliflower and walnuts for the meat substitute.

Add chipotle in adobo sauce to the mixture.

Season with cumin and cayenne to taste.

Mix until the consistency is smooth but not pureed.

Spread the mixture on a baking pan and bake at 480°F for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes for even crispiness.

Make a dressing using tahini, lime juice, ginger, and nutritional yeast in a food processor.

Roast garlic to add to the dressing for a richer flavor.

Assemble the tacos using the radicchio or lettuce leaves, filling them with the cauliflower-walnut mixture, and topping with creamy cashew sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
