Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup buttermilk (or plant-based milk for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your preferred heat level)

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup red cabbage, shredded

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: Vegan ranch dressing for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Breading: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the buttermilk until you have a smooth batter.

      Coat the Cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.

        Bake the Cauliflower: Spread the battered cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

          Toss in Buffalo Sauce: Once baked, remove the cauliflower from the oven and immediately toss it in the buffalo sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

            Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower cools slightly, warm the tortillas. You can do this either in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrapped in foil in the oven for a few minutes.

              Assemble the Tacos: Take a warm tortilla, add a generous scoop of buffalo cauliflower, and top with sliced avocado, shredded red cabbage, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with vegan ranch dressing if desired.

                Serve: Serve your fiery buffalo cauliflower tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing. Enjoy!
