Crispy Cauliflower Ingredients

Method

Crispy Cauliflower Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, wash, and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Batter the Cauliflower

    In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Dredge each cauliflower floret in the mixture until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Cauliflower

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered cauliflower florets and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage mix and roasted corn. In another bowl, prepare the jalapeño aioli by mixing mayonnaise with sliced jalapeños (adjust to taste).

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet. Place a layer of the cabbage and corn mix on each tortilla, followed by the crispy cauliflower. Drizzle buffalo sauce over the top, add crema, slices of avocado, and jalapeño aioli. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas and serve immediately while hot.
