What is in this buffalo cauliflower wrap
What is in this tasty vegetarian buffalo cauliflower wrap? Here are all the ingredients in this buffalo cauliflower wrap.
- Buffalo cauliflower. This buffalo cauliflower wrap is loaded with lots of crispy buffalo cauliflower. The cauliflower is coated with a simple batter and baked to perfection before being drenched in tangy buffalo sauce. If you do not have a favorite store bought buffalo sauce, we provide instructions on how to make your own buffalo sauce below.
- Avocado yogurt sauce. This buffalo cauliflower wrap is topped with an avocado yogurt sauce that is made with just a few simple ingredients. This smooth, creamy yogurt sauce provides the perfect contrast to the fiery, tangy flavor of the buffalo sauce.
- Reg cabbage. Some red cabbage is added to this buffalo cauliflower wrap to give it more volume. The combination of the bright purple cabbage and the bold orange buffalo cauliflower is absolutely beautiful! In fact, this buffalo cauliflower wrap is probably one of the prettiest savory dishes we make!
- Celery. There is a reason that celery is frequently served alongside buffalo wings. That is because buffalo sauce and celery make an amazing pair! Some diced celery is added to this buffalo cauliflower wrap to give it a little bit of an extra crunch and a whole lot of extra flavor.
- Green onion. Finally, some green onions are added to this buffalo cauliflower wrap to provide an extra burst of flavor. The green onions provide a feast, zesty flavor that contrasts the creaminess of the avocado yogurt sauce.
How to make buffalo cauliflower wraps
How do you make buffalo cauliflower wraps from scratch? Here is how to make buffalo cauliflower wraps.
- Cut the cauliflower. The first step for making buffalo cauliflower wraps is to make the buffalo cauliflower. The first step in that process is to cut the cauliflower into small bite-sized pieces. Whole heads of cauliflower are dense and difficult to cut through so we recommend using a high quality chef’s knife (this is our favorite brand).
- Batter the cauliflower. After you cut the cauliflower into bite sized pieces, it is time to coat it in batter. We use a simple batter made from flour, sugar, water, and salt in this recipe. After the cauliflower is coated in batter, it should be laid on a baking sheet that is covered with parchment paper.
- Cook the cauliflower. Next up, it is time to cook the buffalo cauliflower. You should cook the cauliflower for about 15 minutes at 450 degrees. After 15 minutes, it is time to soak the cauliflower in buffalo sauce.
- Drench the battered cauliflower in buffalo sauce. After the cauliflower has cooked for 15 minutes, it is time to cover the battered cauliflower in buffalo sauce. After you cover the cauliflower in buffalo sauce, you should put the cauliflower back in the oven to cook for another 5 – 10 minutes.
- Make the avocado yogurt sauce. While the buffalo cauliflower cooks, you can make the avocado yogurt sauce. All you have to do is mash the avocado and combine all of the ingredients for the avocado yogurt sauce. Store the sauce in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
- Chop the vegetables. After that, it is time to chop the vegetables for your buffalo cauliflower wraps. First you should slice the lettuce into long thin slices. It should look almost like a slaw. After that, you should dice the green onions and celery into small pieces. You can do this step while the cauliflower is in the oven if you want to save some time.
- Assemble the wraps. After you chop the vegetables, all you have to do is assemble the buffalo cauliflower wraps. We like our wraps to be nice and saucy so we add a liberal amount of avocado yogurt sauce as well as any leftover buffalo sauce that remains after the cauliflower bites are coated.

Instructions for making homemade buffalo sauce

- Red cabbage. You can use another type of cabbage or lettuce if you do not have red cabbage. We just use red cabbage because of the beautiful contrast in color between the purple of the cabbage and the orange of the buffalo cauliflower.
- Gluten free all purpose flour. If you do not have a gluten intolerance then you can substitute regular all purpose for the gluten free all purpose flour. You should use the same amount of flour.
- Gluten free wraps. If you do not have a gluten intolerance then you can use a regular wheat based wrap rather than a gluten free wrap.
