Place the florets on a sheet pan, toss them with the olive oil, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and spread them out in a single layer. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing two or three times, until the florets are tender and randomly browned. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• Set the oven to broil and arrange a rack 6 inches below the heat.

Finely dice the avocado and sprinkle it with a little salt and juice from 1 lime wedge. Thinly slice the jalapeño crosswise. Place the refried beans in a small bowl and mash with the back of a spoon to soften them. Set all the toppings aside until ready to serve.
• Push the baked cauliflower to the center of the baking sheet. Dollop the refried beans (about 1 tablespoon per dollop) over the top, then sprinkle evenly with a little salt and with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the beans are warmed through and the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
