Ingredients
Scale
Cauliflower and Seasoning
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce and Wrap
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 4 soft tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado or 1/3 cup vegan ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- Optional: sliced cucumber, shredded lettuce, pickled onions, or slaw
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the cauliflower.
- Toss Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Roast Cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through to ensure even cooking until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Coat with Buffalo Sauce: Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a clean bowl. Toss with the buffalo sauce until the florets are well-coated, giving them that spicy, tangy flavor.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15–30 seconds on each side to make them soft and pliable for wrapping.
- Prepare Wraps: Spread the avocado or vegan ranch dressing down the center of each warmed tortilla, providing a creamy base for the filling.
- Add Filling and Toppings: Spoon the buffalo cauliflower mixture onto the tortilla, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro and any optional toppings like sliced cucumber, shredded lettuce, pickled onions, or slaw to add texture and freshness.
- Assemble and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately while warm and flavorful.
