Today, I'm over-the-moon excited to introduce you to one of my all-time favorites that's earned a top spot at my dining table – the one and only Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos! 🌮🔥 Seriously, these babies will win over the hearts of any guest gracing your dinner table.
Plant-Based Power
When I started going plant-based, I was looking for weeknight staples that I could make in under 30-minutes. One of my old roommates was obsessed with buffalo sauce. I've started dabbling in the spice game so I thought I could make a crispy cauliflower coated in buffalo sauce.
Cauliflower is a great source of vitamins C and K, providing powerful antioxidants that help fight inflammation and support immune health. It's also high in fiber, which we could all use more of!
I love adding cabbage and red onions as well for their nutritional benefits. Cabbage is packed with vitamin C, an essential antioxidant for skin health and immune function, and vitamin K, important for bone health. Red onions are rich in quercetin, a flavonoid antioxidant that has been linked to reduced blood pressure and protection against heart disease.
Quick, Easy Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos
These vegan buffalo cauliflower tacos are quick, easy, and delicious. They're a true celebration of plant-powered yumminess that'll sway the taste buds of even the greatest meat-enthusiasts. You can also change them up with different sauces. (I love a homemade Lime Tahini, but in a pinch use Brianna's Creamy Cilantro and Lime). I would also recommend getting some good tortillas to help complete the dish. My personal favorite are these Rise and Puff's Tortillas.
So, whether you're a seasoned vegan or simply seeking a quickand tasty meal- my Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos are your ticket. Grab those tortillas and join me in this flavorful dish! 🎉🌱
Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer (Oven also works, but will need to cook for longer)

- ⅔ cups of Water
- ¾ cups of Buffalo Sauce
- ½ head Cabbage

- 1 tablespoon of Maple Syrup (which I adore)

Instructions
For Cauliflower Tacos
- Cut the cauliflower into bits. Preheat Air Frier (or Oven) to 400F.

- While in the Air Fryer, cut your cabbage, red onion, and cilantro.
- Warm your tortillas, and when the cauliflower is done (this may take more time if using an oven to reach a desired crispness) assemble your taco.
