Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh cauliflower for the best texture, but frozen works in a pinch! Feel free to swap in your favorite plant-based unsweetened almond milk or even add some nutritional yeast to the batter for a cheesy flavor. And don’t skimp on the buffalo sauce; that’s where the magic happens!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to make extra buffalo cauliflower and snack on it throughout the week—so good on its own!
- •If you want to make this ahead of time, prep the batter and cauliflower, but wait to bake until just before serving.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add shredded carrots or cabbage for a crunch in the tacos—totally up to you!
- •If I’m feeling fancy, I might drizzle some tahini sauce over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage & Freezing
These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the crispy cauliflower and the avocado sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just reheat the cauliflower in the oven to crisp it up again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these gluten-free?
Absolutely! Just swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend, and you're good to go.
What if I don’t like spicy food?
You can tone down the heat by using a milder hot sauce or even a barbecue sauce for a different twist!

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep things clean and crispy.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond unsweetened almond milk, flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- 3
Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter until they're evenly coated. It’s okay if some batter drips off; we want them crispy!
- 4
Spread the battered cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're golden brown and crispy.
- 5
While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the avocado sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 6
Once the cauliflower is done, toss it in the buffalo sauce until well coated. You might want to taste it first—add more sauce if you like it spicier!
- 7
Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of buffalo cauliflower, drizzle with the creamy avocado sauce, and top with fresh cilantro.
- 8
If you’re feeling indulgent, add a dollop of vegan vegan sour cream on top. Serve and enjoy your crispy, spicy goodness!
