Why You’ll Love This Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap

This wrap offers everything you love about buffalo wings but in a veggie-forward form that still delivers that crave-worthy punch. The roasted cauliflower gets tender in the middle and crispy on the edges, making it a fantastic meat substitute with plenty of bite. Once tossed in buffalo sauce, the cauliflower brings the heat and flavor to the forefront.

The wrap format makes this ideal for lunches, game nights, or weeknight dinners. Plus, it’s easy to scale up for a crowd or customize with extra fillings like shredded carrots, avocado, or a bit of cheese. Whether you eat plant-based or not, this wrap is a total win.

Can I Use Frozen Cauliflower Instead?

Yes, you can! While fresh cauliflower florets tend to roast up crispier and hold their shape better, frozen cauliflower works in a pinch. Just be sure to thaw it completely and pat it dry before roasting to remove excess moisture. That step helps you still get some golden caramelization in the oven.

Ingredients for the Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap

This wrap keeps things simple while packing in flavor and freshness. Each component plays a part in the final flavor harmony. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Cauliflower florets
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Buffalo sauce
  • Tortilla wraps
  • Lettuce
  • Shredded carrots
  • Cucumber slices
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing

The cauliflower florets are the main feature and absorb all the buffalo flavor. Olive oil helps them roast beautifully. Garlic powder and onion powder add subtle savory depth. Buffalo sauce brings the zingy heat that makes the wrap addictive.

Soft tortilla wraps hold everything together, while lettuce, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices add cooling crunch. Finish with ranch or blue cheese dressing for that creamy contrast that balances the heat.

How To Make the Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap

Step 1: Roast the Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 2: Coat in Buffalo Sauce

Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a bowl and toss it generously in buffalo sauce. Let it sit for a couple of minutes so the flavor soaks in.

Step 3: Assemble the Wrap

Warm your tortilla wraps slightly to make them easier to fold. Layer with lettuce, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices. Add the buffalo cauliflower on top, then drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Step 4: Wrap and Serve

Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

How to Serve and Store Buffalo Cauliflower Wraps

These wraps are best served fresh when the cauliflower is warm and the veggies are crisp. If you’re making them ahead for lunches or meal prep, store each element separately and assemble right before eating. That way the wraps don’t get soggy.

You can keep roasted buffalo cauliflower in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven or air fryer to regain crispness before using it in a wrap. This recipe yields about 4 wraps, perfect for feeding 2 to 4 people, depending on hunger levels.

What to Serve With Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap?

Simple Side Salad

A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of the wrap.

Sweet Potato Fries

Oven-baked sweet potato fries bring a touch of sweetness that balances the heat beautifully.

Dill Pickle Spears

Add a crunchy, tangy element on the side with a few dill pickles.

Roasted Chickpeas

Crispy roasted chickpeas are great for an added crunch or even tossed into the wrap itself.

Fruit Salad

A refreshing fruit mix of melon, grapes, or citrus offers a nice cooling bite.

Corn on the Cob

Grilled or boiled corn complements the smoky, spicy notes of the buffalo sauce.

Coleslaw

Creamy or vinegar-based coleslaw brings another layer of crunch and contrast.
