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!

- 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
- cilantro , finely chopped
- slices of fresh lime
- 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!
Prep-Ahead Tip: For best results, bake 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 and crisp. Leftovers can be stored and used in a similar fashion.
These can be served as regular size tacos or mini-tacos.
