Buffalo cauliflower tacos are a bold, vegetarian twist on a game-day favorite, bringing together crispy roasted cauliflower coated in spicy buffalo sauce with cool, refreshing toppings. Served in soft tortillas and balanced with creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing, crunchy slaw, and fresh herbs, these tacos are hearty, satisfying, and full of flavor.
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup buffalo hot sauce
1 tbsp melted butter (or vegan butter)
8 small flour or corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
½ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (store-bought or homemade)
1 avocado, diced
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 min. until golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and melted butter. Toss the roasted cauliflower in the sauce until fully coated.
Warm the tortillas on a skillet or directly over a flame until pliable.
Fill the tortillas with buffalo cauliflower, shredded cabbage, avocado, and a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges for extra zest.
