So, I might be obsessed with all things buffalo blue cheese, and these buffalo blue cheese cauliflower tacos are no exception!
Recently I made buffalo cauliflower pizza with blue cheese sauce that was outstanding! I decided to try the same idea in tacos, and it is delicious!
Which is your favorite, crunchy or soft shells? I think it depends on the filling you are using. For this recipe, I preferred crunchy shells for their extra texture!
I layered these tacos with the cauliflower on top for presentation. After eating them, I found that I preferred the cauliflower on the bottom. Layer them however you prefer your tacos!
Variations to the Buffalo Blue Cheese Cauliflower Tacos recipe:
- Vegan swap: instead of blue cheese and sour cream, try avocado chunks, or an avocado cashew cream!
- High protein swap: Try using crumbled tempeh in place of the cauliflower if you want more protein! Omnivores can also swap in their protein of choice.
- Try BBQ sauce instead of hot sauce if you don’t like spicy foods. Top with cheddar instead of blue cheese.

Thanks Lawrence!
These look so yummy, I need to try them! I might add some Quorn mince too!
Sounds delicious, and will increase the protein too! Thanks Kat!
yummy
Thanks Cecilia!
Made these tonight with only two changes – feta instead of blue (because I don’t like blue cheese) and arugula instead of regular lettuce. Really tasty.
Thanks for posting back Susan! The arugula sounds like a great way to bring the nutrition up a notch!
I just finished a head of cauliflower (a favorite veggie) and served it over rice. I would certainly have made your recipe instead. Sounds delicious and I can’t wait to try these tacos – like the blue cheese too Alison. Thanks for sharing with Fiesta Friday and don’t forget to link 🙂
Cauliflower is one of my favorites too! Thanks Judith!
