Ingredients
  

For the Cauliflower:

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • ¾ cup flour can use gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 5 tbsp sriracha separated
  • ½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • ¼ cup water
  • Panko bread crumbs for coating
  • ½ cup vegan mayo
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • Black sesame seeds optional, for garnish

For the Tacos:

  • 1 cup purple cabbage shredded
  • 1 cup green cabbage shredded
  • 1 lime juiced
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 avocados sliced
  • 8 tortillas corn or flour
  • Cilantro lime wedges, and extra sriracha for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sriracha, non-dairy milk, and water, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
  • Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with panko bread crumbs for added crunch.
  • Arrange the seasoned cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the cauliflower achieves a golden brown color and a crispy texture.

Make the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayo, 3 tablespoons of sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside for drizzling over the tacos.

Prepare the Cabbage Slaw:

  • In a bowl, combine the shredded purple and green cabbage.
  • Add the lime juice and a pinch of salt, tossing to mix.

Assemble the Tacos:

  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave.
  • Layer each tortilla with a generous amount of cabbage slaw, crispy bang bang cauliflower, and sliced avocado.
  • Drizzle with the bang bang sauce and garnish with cilantro, black sesame seeds (if using), and extra sriracha for added spice.
  • Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of zesty flavor.
