📝 Ingredients

  • 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk for a vegan version)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot or your preferred brand)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegan butter for a vegan version)
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • Shredded lettuce, for serving
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for serving
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)

📝 Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a batter.
  3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it becomes crispy and golden brown.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the hot sauce and melted butter.
  6. Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and toss it in the hot sauce mixture until evenly coated.
  7. Return the coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to adhere to the florets.
  8. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave them until soft and pliable.
  9. To assemble the tacos, place some buffalo cauliflower onto each tortilla.
  10. Top with shredded lettuce, and drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
  11. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
  12. Serve the Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos immediately.
💡 Expert Tips
  • For extra crispiness, you can spray or lightly brush the cauliflower florets with oil before coating them in the batter.
  • Adjust the heat level by adding more or less hot sauce to the mixture, based on your preference.
  • Customize the toppings by adding diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or pickled onions.

📌 Important Facts

  • Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos are a delicious vegetarian or vegan alternative to traditional buffalo chicken tacos.

  • Serve the tacos with cooling dressings like ranch or blue cheese to balance the heat.
