how to make Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wraps

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower (cut into florets, about 4 cups chopped)
3/4 cup brown rice flour
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (plus more as needed to adjust consistency)
Pinch of black pepper
1/2 cup Frank’s Buffalo Sauce
1 package soft tofu
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sea salt
Handful of fresh parsley (finely chopped)
Finely chopped kale or shredded romaine lettuce
Thinly sliced cucumber
Finely grated carrot
Sliced avocado
Large tortillas

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a bowl, mix the brown rice flour, almond milk, and black pepper. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Adjust the liquid if needed to create a thick but slightly drippy batter.
Dip the cauliflower florets in the batter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes until it starts to get slightly browned.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and mix it with the buffalo sauce directly on the baking pan.
Place the cauliflower back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes until browned.
For the tofu ranch, blend the tofu, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt until smooth and creamy. Stir in the finely chopped parsley. Alternatively, add parsley to the blender and pulse a few times to combine.
To assemble the wraps, layer four tortillas with thinly sliced cucumber, chopped kale or shredded lettuce, grated carrot, and avocado. Top each wrap with the buffalo cauliflower and vegan ranch dressing.
If you prefer a salad, skip the wrap and create a base of kale or lettuce topped with the buffalo cauliflower, veggies, and ranch dressing. You can add a little extra water to the ranch dressing to thin it out if you make a salad.

how to serve Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wraps

These wraps are best served warm right after you prepare them. You can also serve them with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing on the side for dipping. They make a satisfying meal on their own or can be paired with a side salad or some fruit for a complete meal.

how to store Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wraps

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The wraps will stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can pop them back in the oven for a few minutes or use a microwave until warmed through. The cauliflower may lose some crispiness after reheating, but they will still taste great.

tips to make Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wraps

Make sure the batter is thick enough to stick to the cauliflower. You can adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk or rice flour as needed.
Roast the cauliflower until it is well-browned for the best flavor and texture.
Feel free to customize your toppings based on what you have at home or your personal preferences. Other veggies like bell peppers, or even cooked rice, can work well too.

variation

You can easily make these wraps gluten-free by using gluten-free flour instead of brown rice flour. For a spicy kick, add some diced jalapeños to the wrap. You can also try different sauces if you want to switch things up; BBQ sauce can be a great alternative.
