  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • For the Avocado Crema
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or vegan yogurt for vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2–3 tablespoons water, to thin as needed
  • For the Tacos

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven : Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare Cauliflower : Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. In a large bowl, toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  • Roast Cauliflower : Spread the florets in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
  • Toss in Buffalo Sauce : Remove cauliflower from the oven and place in a large bowl. Pour buffalo sauce over the florets and toss until evenly coated.
  • Make Avocado Crema : In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Prepare Tortillas and Toppings : Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Prepare toppings: shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and any optional toppings.
  • Assemble Tacos : Place a few buffalo cauliflower florets on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado crema, cilantro, and any additional toppings. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
