Ingredients
  

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

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup water

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup red cabbage, finely shredded

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

Lime wedges for serving

Optional: Vegan ranch or sour cream for drizzling

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Gradually pour in the water while whisking continuously until the mixture reaches a smooth, lump-free batter.

      Take each cauliflower floret and dip it into the batter, ensuring it’s well coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before placing the florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

        Bake the cauliflower in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, making sure to turn the florets halfway through cooking. They should be crispy and golden brown when finished.

          Once baked, transfer the cauliflower to a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the cauliflower and toss gently until all the pieces are thoroughly coated.

            Return the sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes to create an extra layer of crispiness.

              While the cauliflower is baking a second time, warm the tortillas. You can do this easily by heating them in a skillet over medium heat for a few seconds on each side or microwaving them for about 15-20 seconds until pliable.

                To assemble your tacos, place a generous amount of the buffalo cauliflower on each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, shredded red cabbage, and chopped cilantro to add freshness and crunch.

                  If you desire, drizzle vegan ranch or sour cream over the top for added creaminess. Serve your tacos immediately, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish for a zesty kick.
