Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Place cauliflower florets on one baking sheet and cubed butternut squash on another. Sprinkle chili powder and cumin evenly over both. Drizzle squash with 2 teaspoons honey and as much chili flakes as desired.
2. Drizzle both vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
3. Meanwhile, finely chop parsley. Cut lime into wedges; reserve 2 wedges for serving. Mince ¼ teaspoon garlic.
4. In a medium bowl, combine ⅓ cup yogurt, minced garlic, half the parsley, and a few squeezes of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 tablespoon water to thin the crema.
5. When vegetables have about 5 minutes left, wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm.
6. Spread each tortilla with yogurt crema. Top with roasted cauliflower and squash, crumbled feta, and remaining parsley. Serve with lime wedges.
