3 cups red cabbage, cut, julienned
4 cups lettuce, cut, julienned
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
shredded cheese, to garnish, optional
1 avocado, sliced
3 cups panko bread crumbs
2 cups all purpose flour, mixed with 1 cup (240 ml) water to form pancake-like batter
1 teaspoon cornstarch
4 teaspoons cayenne pepper, divided into 2, 2 tsp increments (2 teaspoon for the bread crumbs and 2 teaspoon for the all purpose batter)
4 teaspoons paprika, divided into 2, 2 tsp increments (2 teaspoon for the bread crumbs and 2 teaspoon for the all purpose batter)
2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder, divided into 2, 1 tsp increments (1 teaspoon for the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon for the all purpose batter)
2 teaspoons black pepper, divided into 2, 1 tsp increments (1 teaspoon for the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon for the all purpose batter)
⅓ cup hot sauce, Like Texas Pete, for all-purpose batter
1 cup hot sauce, Texas Pete Hot sauce to drizzle on top of cauliflower wings
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil on medium for frying.
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Add Panko breadcrumbs into a bowl and to this, add 1 tsp cayenne, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp chipotle chili powder, 1 tsp black pepper and mix together. Add salt to taste.
  • In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, water, and 1 tsp cayenne, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp chipotle chili powder, 1 tsp black pepper, and ⅓ cups of Texas Pete Hot Sauce to create a batter.
  • Dip the 1" to 2" cauliflower florets into the all-purpose-flour mixture first, and then dip them into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring all florets are covered completely.
  • Fry cauliflower florets slices until golden-brown. Place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up the oil, then place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle the 1 cup of Texas Pete Hot Sauce onto the cauliflower wings (add more if more spice is desired). Bake for 7 minutes while heating tortillas.
  • Assemble by spreading homemade ranch in the middle of the tortilla and then placing 3-4 cauliflower wings onto the tortilla. Add lettuce, red cabbage, avocado slices, cilantro, lime (optional) cheese, and more hot sauce. Serve.
  • Enjoy!
