Spice up your next lunch with these Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Quesadillas. A creamy, spicy combo of marinated cauliflower, vegan ranch and buffalo sauce.
I love some spicy buffalo sauce in my life.
And after posting the recipe for my Roasted Cauliflower Buffalo Pizza I realized that all of you love it too!
It continues to be one of my most popular recipes.
Since then, I have also posted a recipe for my Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos.
And again, you guys LOVED them.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who loves buffalo cauliflower.
So, I went back to the drawing board to figure out another way to use it in a new and exciting way.
And that is how these Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Quesadillas were born.
We’re sticking with the traditional cauliflower recipe – why fix something that isn’t broken?
How to serve Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Quesadillas
And we’re “cheesing” these up with an avocado/cream cheese combo that is going to act as the glue inside the tortilla.
After these are grilled up, they are served with vegan ranch (and maybe a little more buffalo sauce if you’re addicted to that stuff like me).
The ranch will tame the spice and just makes the whole thing tastier.
One thing I will say is that you want to eat these immediately. With all the sauce going on, you want to eat them up before the tortilla loses it’s crispy crust.

Ingredients
- 1/2 head cauliflower cut in bite-sized pieces
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce separated
- pepper to taste

- salt to taste
- 2 large tortillas
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped (to taste)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine cauliflower, olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, pepper and 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce. Stir to combine. Spread evenly on baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway. Increase heat to broil and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until cauliflower begins to brown. Remove from the oven.Place cauliflower back in a bowl. Add remaining buffalo sauce and stir to combine.
While cauliflower is cooking, combine avocado, cream cheese and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a pan over medium high heat and spray with non-stick spray.
Spread desired amount of avocado mixture on half of a tortilla. Top with half of the cauliflower mixture, red onion slices and cilantro. Close the tortilla and place in pan. Cook until browned on both sides – approx. 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove from the pan and repeat with remaining ingredients.

This was delicious! Thanks for the great quesadilla recipe that’s different! I didn’t have any plain vegan cream cheese on hand but vegan ranch sounded like a good combo so added some to the avocado. I also used scallions instead of red onion. Adddd a little vegan shredded cheese just because it sounded good 🙂 So yummy!

I’m allergic to avocado! What could I use as a replacement? Would sour cream work or would you suggest something else?

You could do some vegan sour cream. Or if you like a little bit of spice you could make a batch of my Jalapeno Cream Sauce – https://www.thissavoryvegan.com/vegan-jalapeno-cream-sauce/
