Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)

1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup buffalo sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup purple cabbage, shredded

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually pour in the almond milk and whisk until smooth. Add the cauliflower florets and toss to coat them evenly in the batter.

      Bake the Cauliflower: Spread the coated cauliflower florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

        Add Buffalo Sauce: Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the baked cauliflower and toss to coat evenly. Return to the baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower is baking for the second time, warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

            Assemble the Tacos: To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of the buffalo cauliflower on each tortilla. Top with shredded purple cabbage, avocado slices, and a drizzle of extra buffalo sauce if desired.

              Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
