These vegan buffalo cauliflower tacos will make you pause and savor every singe bite!!
Imagine plain, boring cauliflower (one of the few vegetables that I’m not a fan of in their raw form). Now imagine them as breaded large pieces and baked in the oven. Next, toss them in my home-made vegan buffalo sauce and bake them once more. That cauliflower just went from plain and boring to mouthwatering and irresistible.
But why stop there…
Stuff these mouthwatering buffalo cauliflower bites into a grilled corn tortilla. Add some slaw for crunchy texture and drizzle on my popular creamy vegan cucumber ranch. Top it off with some fresh herbs, red onions, and citrus! Are you drooling yet?? Have I hooked you on cauliflower??
Well either way, they’re FINALLY here…it’s my Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos recipe that I know many of you have been waiting for! I created them this past December to serve at our annual holiday party. They were a huge hit back then and have continued to be a staple in our home ever since!
These cauliflower tacos are perfect for any dinner party or upcoming Cinco de Mayo celebration (can you believe it’s April already?!?)! The buffalo cauliflower bites can easily be made ahead of time, stored in the fridge, and quickly re-baked in the toaster oven for an easy weeknight meal. You can even turn them into appetizers or small finger foods by making mini tacos and serving them on these awesome mini 6 shooter taco racks I found from The Taco Rack. I’m in love with these racks and have their mini shooter series and standard triple and six shooter racks. They’re stainless steel and you can even place them back in the oven after filling them. (And in case you’re wondering… I was not paid for mentioning these racks). I honestly just love them and how fun it is to serve up tacos on these racks.
Believe me when I say that you’ll be craving these tacos every week. All you need is one bite and you’ll be hooked. I know many of you have already made my crispy baked buffalo cauliflower bites, so stop drooling over these photographs and try your hand at making these easy Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos with cucumber ranch, slaw, red onions, and fresh herbs!

Natalie | Feasting on Fruit
I am definitely hooked on cauliflower at this point and still really wanting to try your buffalo cauliflower in one of it’s many delicious recipe forms, but what I am obsessed with here is the color!! The bright orangey sauce next tot the purple slaw and the pop of green sprinkled on top–they are gorgeous. And I bet the flavors are just as bright and beautifully contrasting too! Love the re-make fridays idea too 🙂
anjali
Thank you Natalie!! I loved photographing this as well, so many colors as you pointed out! I love it when I don’t have to do much editing 🙂 You’ll love these…not too spicy either. I LOVE seeing re-makes, so sharing them on Fridays was a fun idea to try and highlight all the remakes! Otherwise they sometimes get lost in everything else 🙂

I love buffalo sauce, especially on cauliflower. Those are gorgeous tacos, almost too pretty to eat. 🙂
anjali
Haha…almost!! I devoured these right after photographing 🙂
Uma
Looks very delicious Anjali:) Frankly I never made anything with buffalo sauce. But I ate in restaurants like Tofu buffalo wings like that. Do you make your own sauce? I like to make these tacos, looks super tempting!
anjali
Definitely try making the buffalo cauliflower and then make these tacos! They are so good! And yes, make my own sauce…super easy. I don’t know how close it is to actual buffalo sauce since I haven’t tried many, but this tastes pretty awesome. Let me know if you try it!
Missy
Loved this recipe! Buffalo cauliflower wing sauce had a nice bite to it…my partner (a wing lover) said it was amazing! The cucumber ranch dressing is a great addition to the taco!
Thanks! We will be making this one again!
anjali
