Roasted Cauliflower Fried Halloumi Tacos

Trying to keep up with a meatless meal once a week. Never EVER will I go vegetarian/vegan so one meal a day without meat is more than enough. This recipe focuses on halloumi, which is salty, cheesy, and absolutely delicious in a taco with some other veggies and a wonderful spicy avocado sauce that makes it all pop. This recipe is from Half-Baked Harvest who always has the most delicious and creative recipes.
