Ingredients To Make This Healthy Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap:
- Buffalo Cauliflower Bites: Use about 2 cups of homemade or store-bought. If making it from scratch, the batter's blend of nutritional yeast, panko breadcrumbs, and spices like paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper creates a flavorful, crispy coating, and a quick homemade buffalo sauce of hot sauce and melted vegan butter gives it that tangy buffalo sauce flavor.
- Romaine Lettuce: Adds crisp, fresh crunch to every bite. Butter lettuce or your favorite fresh greens work well, too, if that's what you have on hand.
- Red Onion: Thinly sliced red onion adds a little sharpness and color. Swap in green onions for a milder flavor.
- Avocado: Creamy avocado balances out the spicy buffalo flavor and adds healthy fats.
- Tortillas: Use burrito-size flour tortillas (similar to my Nut-Free Asian Crunch Wrap), whole-wheat tortillas, or a gluten-free tortilla if needed.
- Vegan Ranch Dressing: Drizzle generously over the wrap right before rolling. Vegan blue cheese dressing also works great if you want a tangier flavor.
See the recipe card for quantities.
How To Make It:
- 1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Make a batch of crispy buffalo cauliflower at home, or warm up a store-bought version until hot and crispy again.
- 2. Prep the Veggies: Wash and chop the romaine, thinly slice the onion, and slice the avocado.
- 3. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave, or in a dry skillet over medium heat, to make them easier to roll.
- 4. Assemble the Wraps: Divide the romaine evenly among the tortillas on a flat surface, then top with the cauliflower, onion, and avocado slices.
- 5. Add the Sauce: Drizzle generously with ranch dressing, or vegan blue cheese dressing if you prefer something tangier.
- 6. Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly, tucking the wrap seam side down to keep everything secure.
- 7. Serve or Toast: Serve immediately, or for a warm, crispy exterior, toast the wraps in a skillet with a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side.
Top Tips:
- Don't Overfill the Tortillas: It's tempting to load these up, but a slightly smaller portion of filling makes the wraps much easier to roll and hold together.
- Toast for Extra Crunch: If your wraps are extra full, you may need closer to 4-5 minutes per side in the skillet to get that crispy exterior.
- Reheat on a Large Baking Tray: If reheating store-bought cauliflower in the oven, spread the pieces out on a large baking tray in a single layer for the crispiest texture.
Variations And Substitutions:
- Dressing Swap: Swap the ranch for Caesar dressing, especially if you have leftovers from my Roasted Chickpea Kale Caesar Salad, or drizzle lime juice over vegan yogurt for something lighter.
- Lettuce Wrap Version: Skip the tortilla and turn this into buffalo cauliflower lettuce wraps using butter lettuce for a lower-carb option.
- Mix and Match: Don't be afraid to swap in your favorite veggies or favorite ingredients. There are so many vegan versions of dressings and toppings at the grocery store now.
- Spice It Up: Add a drizzle of extra-spicy Buffalo sauce or hot sauce if you like things hotter.
Storage:
- Refrigeration: Store the cauliflower, fresh veggies, and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, then assemble right before eating.
- Best Texture: These are best assembled fresh, since the tortilla can get soggy if it sits too long with the dressing already on it.
Equipment Needed:
- Skillet: For warming the tortillas or toasting the finished wraps.
- Baking Sheet: Handy for reheating store-bought or homemade buffalo cauliflower in the oven before assembling your wraps.
Recipe FAQs:
Yes! Skip the tortilla or serve it on the side, then toss everything together in a large bowl for an easy buffalo cauliflower salad.
This wrap is a filling lunch on its own, but it also pairs well with sweet potato fries, a Lemon Avocado Kale Salad, or Air Fryer Pasta Chips for something fun and super crunchy.
Yes. Reheat it directly on a sheet pan in the oven, rather than the microwave, which tends to make the coating soggy.
