by

Ingredients:

  • For the Buffalo Cauliflower:
    • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free alternative)
    • 1 cup water or non-dairy milk
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • For the Wrap:
    • 4 large tortillas or wraps (whole wheat, spinach, or your choice)
    • 1 cup lettuce or mixed greens
    • 1/2 cup shredded carrots (optional)
    • 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced (optional)
    • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles or dressing
    • Optional: Sliced avocado or ranch dressing for drizzling

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Buffalo Cauliflower

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, water (or non-dairy milk), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Coat Cauliflower: Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter, ensuring they are well coated, then arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and crispy.

Step 2: Add Buffalo Sauce

  1. Toss with Sauce: Once the cauliflower is cooked, remove it from the oven and toss it in a bowl with the buffalo sauce until well coated.

Step 3: Assemble the Wrap

  1. Layer Ingredients: On each tortilla, layer the lettuce, buffalo cauliflower, shredded carrots, cucumber, and blue cheese crumbles.
  2. Optional Add-ins: If desired, add sliced avocado or drizzle with ranch dressing for extra creaminess.
  3. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to create a wrap.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Slice and Serve: Cut the wrap in half and serve immediately. You can also serve it with extra buffalo sauce or blue cheese dressing on the side.

Tips:

  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your spice preference.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour for the batter and gluten-free wraps.

Variations:

  • Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños for an extra kick.
  • Veggie Boost: Include more veggies like bell peppers or red cabbage for added crunch and color.
