Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (feel free to adjust based on your spice preference)

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade for a personalized touch)

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 medium tomato, diced into small pieces

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for drizzling)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Whisk the mixture until it's smooth and thick enough to coat the cauliflower florets evenly.

      Coat the Cauliflower: Take each cauliflower floret and dip it into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Once coated, place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.

        Bake the Florets: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remember to flip the florets halfway through cooking to ensure they become golden and crispy on all sides.

          Buffalo Sauce Coating: After baking, transfer the crispy cauliflower into a separate bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the hot cauliflower and toss well to coat every piece evenly. Return the sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet for the next baking step.

            Final Bake: Bake the buffalo-coated cauliflower for an additional 10-15 minutes, until they are extra crispy and the buffalo sauce is bubbling and fragrant.

              Assemble the Wraps: Take each tortilla and lay a generous amount of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded carrots in the center. Spoon 4-5 pieces of the buffalo cauliflower on top of the veggies to add delicious zest.

                Dress and Garnish: If desired, drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top of the cauliflower and veggies for added creaminess. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley to enhance flavor and freshness.

                  Wrap and Serve: To wrap the tortilla, fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom to secure the filling. Cut the wrap in half and enjoy immediately while warm for the best taste!
