Ingredients
  

For the Buffalo Cauliflower:

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup buffalo sauce (vegan-friendly)

For the Tacos:

8 small corn tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup red cabbage, shredded

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup vegan ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. The batter should have a pancake-like consistency.

      Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.

        Bake the Cauliflower: Once all florets are on the baking sheet, bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.

          Buffalo Sauce Coating: In a large bowl, toss the baked cauliflower with the buffalo sauce until fully coated. Return to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes to crisp up the sauce.

            Prepare the Tacos: While the cauliflower is baking, warm the corn tortillas on a skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

              Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous amount of the buffalo cauliflower in the center of each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, shredded red cabbage, and chopped cilantro.

                Finish with Dressing: Drizzle vegan ranch dressing over the top and serve with lime wedges on the side.

                  Enjoy Your Tacos: Serve immediately while the cauliflower is still warm and crispy. Enjoy the explosion of flavors!
