Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss together the cauliflower, oil, taco seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

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.
• Drizzle the salsa verde and lime sour cream over the cauliflower nachos. Top with the avocado, jalapeño and cilantro. Sprinkle with a little black pepper. Serve with the reserved lime wedges for squeezing.
