Ingredients

• For the Buffalo Cauliflower:
• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 cup of buffalo sauce
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 cup of water
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
• For the Tacos:
• 8 corn tortillas
• 1 cup of shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup of diced onions
• 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup of vegan sour cream
• 1/2 cup of vegan cheese
• Substitutions: For those with gluten intolerance, you can replace the flour with a gluten-free alternative. If buffalo sauce is too spicy, feel free to use barbecue sauce instead.

Preparation Method

Start by preheating your oven to 450 degrees. While the oven is heating, cut your cauliflower into bite-sized florets. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they're fully covered in the batter. Spread these coated florets out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the cauliflower for about 20 minutes, or until they're golden and crispy. While they're baking, you can start preparing your toppings. Shred your lettuce, dice your tomatoes and onions, and chop your cilantro. If you're using block vegan cheese, grate it now.

Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, transfer them into another bowl, pour the buffalo sauce over them, and toss until they're fully coated in the sauce.

Warm up your corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, flipping them once to warm both sides. Now, it's time to assemble your tacos. Start with a layer of shredded lettuce on each tortilla. Next, add a generous helping of the buffalo cauliflower. Top it with diced tomatoes, onions, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Finish off each taco with a dollop of vegan sour cream and a sprinkle of vegan cheese.

Tips and Conclusion

To add an extra layer of flavor to your tacos, consider making a quick and easy avocado crema. Just blend together one ripe avocado, a cup of vegan sour cream, a handful of cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Drizzle this creamy, tangy sauce over your tacos for an added burst of flavor.
