These Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos are a fun and healthy hand-held dish that will satisfy your spicy food cravings in a flash!
Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos
Our Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos have all the flavor, spice, and subtlety of a 10-pound stick of dynamite. Fresh tortillas heated on the stove provide a warm, soft bed for fiery hot sauce buffalo cauliflower and toppings like edamame (for a plant based protein boost), shredded purple cabbage, corn and fresh avocado
Vegan and Easily Made Gluten-free
Thanks to a perfectly spiced coating made from wheat or gluten free flour, garlic and onion powder, and lots of buffalo sauce, our Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower delivers enough heat and crunch to make their competition cry fowl.
Plus, by baking the coated cauliflower on a parchment-lined cookie sheet instead of frying, our recipe cuts half the fat. Like it extra spicy? Once cooked give the cauliflower a good bath of buffalo sauce before assembling your tacos!
Toppings, Sauces, and Sides
We like to prepare various bowls of toppings for our hungry family so they can choose their own blend of spicy, sour, and sweet flavors. We love the combination of edamame, cabbage, corn and avocado! Other toppings we love are caramelized onions, shredded romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, pickled jalapeno slices, guacamole, diced mango, and chopped parsley or cilantro. We also line up an assortment of sauces including BBQ sauce, hot sauce, green chili sauce, sweet salsa, sliced limes for juicing, and vegan sour cream.
Our Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos are so versatile — you can easily use corn tortillas for the tacos (soft or hard-shell) and adjust your spice level according to your taste. Our tacos make a great meal when served with our Blueberry Lime Frozen Margaritas, a fresh green salad or yellow rice and red pinto beans. Leftovers make a great Mexican Salad – try adding texture to your salad with a few pieces of thinly sliced tortilla that have been fried or toasted.

- 1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour (you can also use gluten free flour)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/3 cup vegan buffalo sauce (you can use more if you like it extra spicy)

- Fill each tortilla with shredded cabbage, edamame and corn. Top with cauliflower and a aocado and drizzle cashew cream on top
