Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Cauliflower
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
Avocado Crema
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Pinch of salt
Wraps and Toppings
- 4 large tortilla wraps
- 1/2 cup cucumber slices (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce or red cabbage (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the cauliflower.
- Season the Cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the florets are golden and crisp on the edges.
- Toss with Buffalo Sauce: Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and immediately toss it with the buffalo sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated while still hot.
- Prepare the Avocado Crema: In a bowl, mash the large ripe avocado and mix in the Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt), lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy to form the avocado crema.
- Warm the Tortillas: Slightly warm the tortillas to make them pliable and easier to fold without breaking.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of avocado crema on each warmed tortilla.
- Add the Buffalo Cauliflower and Toppings: Place the buffalo cauliflower on top of the avocado crema, and add your choice of toppings such as cucumber slices, chopped cilantro, shredded lettuce, or red cabbage for extra crunch and freshness.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the wraps tightly to secure the filling. Serve immediately or wrap them in foil for a convenient, on-the-go meal.
Notes
- You can adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less buffalo sauce according to your preference.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and ensure the buffalo sauce is vegan-friendly.
- If you prefer a gluten-free wrap, substitute regular tortillas with gluten-free ones.
- Roasting cauliflower beyond 30 minutes can make it too crispy or dry, so keep an eye during cooking.
- The wraps can be refrigerated for up to one day but are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
