# How to make it:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk flour, plant-based milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until a smooth batter forms.
03 - Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allow excess to drip off, then coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs. Arrange in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
04 - Bake for 20 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through to ensure even golden crispness.
05 - Mix hot sauce, melted vegan butter, and maple syrup in a small bowl until well combined.
06 - Remove cauliflower from oven and toss gently in buffalo sauce to coat. Return florets to baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until crispy and caramelized.
07 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
08 - Spread vegan ranch dressing on each tortilla, then layer with lettuce, carrot, cucumber, red onion, and buffalo cauliflower. Drizzle with extra ranch and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
09 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly. Cut in half and serve immediately.
