03 - 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk, such as almond, soy, or oat
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
08 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

→ Buffalo Sauce

09 - 1/3 cup hot sauce, such as Frank’s RedHot
10 - 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
11 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup

→ Wrap Assembly

12 - 4 large flour tortillas or gluten-free wraps
13 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
14 - 1 small carrot, julienned
15 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
16 - 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
17 - 1/2 cup vegan ranch dressing
18 - Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened plant-based milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper until the batter is smooth.
03 - Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off before coating each piece evenly in panko breadcrumbs. Arrange florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Bake cauliflower florets for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
05 - In a small bowl, combine hot sauce, melted vegan butter, and maple syrup and stir until thoroughly blended.
06 - Remove baked cauliflower from the oven and gently toss with buffalo sauce until pieces are evenly coated. Return coated florets to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until crispy and caramelized.
07 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
08 - Spread a spoonful of vegan ranch on each tortilla. Layer with shredded lettuce, julienned carrot, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, and buffalo cauliflower bites. Drizzle additional ranch if desired and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
09 - Fold in the sides, roll each wrap tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately.
