Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos Flavorful and Crispy Delight
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 whole avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- to taste none lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs to create a crunchy coating. Place the coated florets onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping once halfway through the cooking time.
- Once the cauliflower is cooked, remove it from the oven and toss it in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the shredded red cabbage with a pinch of salt and lime juice for a quick slaw.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a few buffalo cauliflower florets on each tortilla, top with the cabbage slaw, a few slices of avocado, and chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
💡 Chef's Notes
