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!

I recently started ‘RE-MAKE FRIDAYS‘ on my Instagram where I love sharing all your gorgeous re-makes of my recipes every week! So be sure to check out what people are making and don’t forget to tag me with your re-makes for a chance to get featured on my feed, tag me both @vegetariangastronomy #vegetariangastronomy so that I don’t miss it!

Ingredients:

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
Vegan Cucumber Ranch
4 corn tortillas, regular size (or 6 mini corn tortillas)
slaw (mix of shredded red cabbage, green cabbage, & carrots)
red onions, finely diced
fresh cilantro, finely chopped
slices of fresh lime

Directions:

Using a non-stick pan , grill each corn tortilla on each side with a small amount of avocado oil .
Add some slaw to the middle of each grilled corn tortilla. Next, add 2-3 prepared buffalo cauliflower bites (amount depends on the size of the corn tortilla and bites).
Top with some prepared vegan cucumber ranch, chopped red onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Enjoy!

Cuisine: Mexican | Recipe Type: Main, Appetizers, Vegan, gluten-free,

Notes:

Prep-Ahead Tip: For best results, make the buffalo cauliflower bites right before assembling the tacos, but you can easily prepare the buffalo cauliflower bites and vegan cucumber ranch ahead of time or the day before and store in an air-tight container in the fridge. When you're ready to serve, simply pre-heat the toaster oven to 375 degrees and bake to heat through. You'll loose some of the crispyness, but they'll still taste great! Leftovers can be stored and used in a similar fashion.

These can be served as regular size tacos or mini-tacos.

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 :)

  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 :)

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!

  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!
