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.

Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 1/2 head cauliflower cut in bite-sized pieces
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

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.

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/
