For the Crispy Cauliflower
- ½ Cup All-Purpose Flour

- 1 Tsp Salt
- ½ Tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ Tsp Onion Powder
- ¼ Tsp Black Pepper
- ½ Cup Soy Milk
- 1 Tsp Sriracha
- ½ Head Large Cauliflower

For the Tacos & Toppings

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Cut your cauliflower into small florets and set them aside.
- In a large bowl, add your flour, corn starch, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk it together until evenly mixed. Add your soy milk and sriracha and mix until evenly combined and you get a batter. If you find your batter is too thick, you can mix in a tablespoon of soy milk at a time until you get your desired consistency.
- Add your cauliflower to the batter and stir your cauliflower around until each piece is coated. Add your panko bread crumbs to a separate bowl. Take each cauliflower floret and toss it around in the panko bread crumbs until it's fully coated. Transfer to a baking tray. Once each piece is coated in panko bread crumbs, bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
- While your cauliflower is baking, make the bang bang sauce by adding each ingredient to a bowl and mixing it until combined. Set aside.
- Once your cauliflower is finished baking, remove it from the oven. You can dip your baked cauliflower in the bang bang sauce or drizzle the sauce over your tacos.
- To assemble your tacos, get your corn tortilla and add your baked cauliflower. Drizzle your bang bang sauce, and add your onions, cabbage, and jalapeno, and cilantro.
- Enjoy!
