So, that way you can save yourself some extra calories and time.
Takes just 15 minutes in all to get the Cauliflower all crispy and crunchy!
So, with no further ado, let's take a quick look at the recipe for Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos.
🥘 Ingredients needed to Make Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos in Air Fryer:
- Cauliflower Head
- Cornstarch + Water - to make a cornstarch slurry.
- Salt & Pepper - To Season the Cornstarch Slurry.
- Hot Sauce
- Shredded Cabbage or Slaw
- Tortillas
- Garnish with Ranch Dressing, Cheesy Chipotle Sauce, Freshly Chopped Cilantro.
👩🍳 How to Make Crispy Cauliflower Tacos?
- In a bowl combine Cornstarch, Water, Salt, and Pepper. Stir well with a spoon and make a smooth and lump-free slurry.
- Dip Cauliflower florets in this mixture and place them in your Air Fryer.

- Cook them at 400F or 200C for 6-minutes in your Air Fryer.

- Once done, take them out and place them into a medium-sized bowl.
- Add Buffalo Sauce on the Cauliflower florets and toss well to coat them evenly. Cook in Air Fryer at 400F OR 200C for additional 6-9 minutes.


- Add shredded Cabbage or Slaw to the toasted Tortillas. Follow it up with Air Fried Buffalo Cauliflower and top it with a generous drizzle of Ranch dressing, Cheesy Chipotle Sauce, and some more Hot Sauce.

How to make Cheesy Chipotle Sauce?
Heat Butter in a skillet. As the butter melts add flour and whisk until the mixture gets fragrant. Gently pour in milk and keep whisking until smooth, creamy and lump free.
Finally, stir in Chopped Chipotle Peppers or a tablespoon of Chipotle Sauce in adobo sauce along with shredded Colby Jack Cheese, Salt and Pepper.
Stir until combined. Serve it over tacos or as a dip or cool it down and store it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. This can be stored for upto a month.
Is this Vegan and Gluten Free?
Yes, this is Vegan and Gluten Free. Cornstarch is 100% Gluten Free. This is Vegan recipe for dinner.
However, I have topped it with Cheesy Chiptole Sauce and Ranch.
For Vegan toppings use Avocado Crema or Romesco Sauce or Vegan Ranch.
Can I make Buffalo Cauliflower in the oven?
Of course! Why not! Just dredge the Cauliflower with cornstarch slurry and place them in a parchment paper lined baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Bake the Cauliflower for 15-20 minutes.
After this time, toss them in Hot Sauce and bake for 5-10 more minutes or until they are perfectly crispy.
