Ingredients:

For the Buffalo Cauliflower:

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free alternative)

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)

  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or a dairy-free alternative)

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large tortillas (whole wheat, flour, or gluten-free)

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots

  • 1/2 cup diced celery

  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (or dairy-free alternative)

  • 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

2. Prepare the Cauliflower

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to form a smooth batter. Add the cauliflower florets and toss to coat evenly.

3. Coat with Panko and Bake

Spread the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. One by one, remove the cauliflower florets from the batter, letting excess drip off, and roll them in the panko until well coated. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and crispy.

4. Toss in Buffalo Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the buffalo sauce with melted butter. Once the cauliflower is done baking, transfer it to a large bowl and toss with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Return to the baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes to set the sauce.

5. Assemble the Wraps

Lay out the tortillas and spread a spoonful of ranch or blue cheese dressing on each one. Layer with shredded lettuce, carrots, and diced celery. Add a generous portion of buffalo cauliflower and top with crumbled blue cheese.

6. Wrap and Serve

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy with extra dressing for dipping!

Tips for the Best Buffalo Cauliflower Wraps:

  • Extra crispy? Broil the cauliflower for 2-3 minutes after baking for an even crunchier texture.

  • Spice control: Adjust the heat by using mild buffalo sauce or mixing in a little honey for sweetness.

  • Make it vegan: Use dairy-free butter, cheese, and dressing for a fully plant-based wrap.

  • Meal prep tip: Store leftover buffalo cauliflower in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven for best results.

These buffalo cauliflower wraps are a flavorful, satisfying, and fun way to enjoy a classic favorite with a healthy twist.
