- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- Optional: avocado slices, pickled onions, or feta cheese
Creamy Sauce (Quick Tahini Yogurt Sauce)
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2–4 tablespoons water (to thin)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Season the Veggies
In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets and diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander (if using), garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne (if using).
Step 3: Roast Until Golden
Spread veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until sweet potatoes are tender and cauliflower is browned and crisp around the edges.
Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and enough water to make it smooth and drizzleable.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
Warm tortillas slightly. Add lettuce, roasted veggies, cucumber, tomatoes, and onion. Drizzle generously with sauce.
Step 6: Wrap and Serve
Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a side of hummus and crunchy veggies.
- Pair with lentil soup or tomato soup for a cozy meal.
- Add extra protein: chickpeas, grilled chicken, or tofu.
- Turn it into a bowl: skip the tortilla and serve over rice or quinoa.
- Pack for lunch—keep sauce separate until ready to eat.
