Spicy, healthy Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos!

Have I ever talked about how much I love buffalo sauce?! If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you’ll know that I have a penchant for all things spicy. I love chili flakes, sriracha, jalapeños, you name it. But hot buffalo sauce is the number one spice provider in my book! Right now I’m working on a repertoire of recipes using spicy buffalo sauce because I want to share this love with the world!! (But for the moment, please accept this recipe and these buffalo chickpea wraps.)

Recently I’ve felt that I was given a whole new kind of motivation for this blog, which I think was precipitated by the arrival of my new camera lens. My goals are twofold. First, I’m trying to post better content and better recipes on the blog. I really want to push the boundaries of plant-based food, and constantly show people how exciting and delicious this way of eating can be. Second, on Instagram I have been focusing on posting my daily meals to give inspiration to people for their everyday plant-based eats. Even though more people are coming around to veggie-based meals, I think there is still some stigma about what vegetarian/vegan cooking looks like. I was just actually talking to someone in the grocery store line the other day about how to cook kale. They asked me, “Doesn’t kale taste bad?”. To which I said, “No, if you just know how to cook it!”. My goal is to show people how to cook kale, and other nutritious plant foods! Healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring, repetitive, or flavorless. There are SO MANY things you can do with plant-based ingredients, and I want to explore them all with you!

In this spirit, I hope you really like this recipe today. This vegan buffalo cauliflower is a flavor bomb, and it’s SO GOOD with the tangy avocado crema!! Plus, who doesn’t love tacos? ;) Enjoy!
