Charred Cauliflower Shawarma

Turkish flavors in a tortilla wrap with red pepper hummus and served with a lentil soup. I mix Turkish and Indian flavors quite a bit and used berbere spice in the cauliflower. It was a tasty change from the usual Mexican flavors.

This is a Snap Pea Sheep recipe
Usually Baharat spice is used for Shawarma but I like Berbere spice better. Simply added to the hummus and sprinkled on the charred cauliflower it lends a warm, spicy note. 
You can find my recipe for red pepper hummus here.
I use taco holders for heating my tortillas and hold them open with spring mixing balls. You can warm them on the stove top if you prefer.
