Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumber or celery
- 1/3 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (or dairy-free alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the cauliflower, then cut it into evenly sized florets.
- Place the florets in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.
- Spread the cauliflower evenly on the tray and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the cauliflower to a mixing bowl. Pour buffalo sauce over the hot florets and toss to coat evenly.
- Return the coated cauliflower to the tray and roast for another 8–10 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize and stick.
- While the cauliflower finishes roasting, shred the lettuce and carrots, and slice the cucumber or celery. Set aside.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds on each side, or microwave for 15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel.
- Place one tortilla on a clean surface and spread a spoonful of dressing down the center.
- Add shredded lettuce, carrots, and sliced cucumber or celery.
- Place a generous portion of buffalo cauliflower on top and drizzle with more dressing if desired.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly for lunch on the go.
Notes
For a vegan version, use dairy-free tortillas and plant-based ranch dressing.
If you want to reduce the spice, mix the buffalo sauce with a little yogurt or honey.
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but the buffalo cauliflower can be prepared ahead and reheated.
