Equipment
- 1 air fryer

Ingredients
Cauliflower
- 1 large head of cauliflower cut into florets
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Buffalo Sauce
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
Taco Assembly
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, buttermilk, and olive oil to create a smooth batter.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the batter, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let any excess batter drip off before transferring to the air fryer.
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Place the coated cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Once cooked, transfer the crispy cauliflower to a bowl. Toss with buffalo sauce until well coated.
Serving
- Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with buffalo cauliflower, then add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and blue cheese crumbles.
- Serve the tacos immediately while the cauliflower is still hot and crispy. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes.
Storage
- Store any leftover cauliflower in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
