# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil the surface.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine flour, water, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
03 - Add cauliflower florets to the batter and toss thoroughly to coat each piece.
04 - Arrange coated florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or spray olive oil over florets. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispness.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, and honey or maple syrup until combined.
06 - Remove cauliflower from oven, transfer to a bowl, and toss with buffalo sauce. Return florets to baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until crispy and caramelized.
07 - In a bowl, mix sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, crumbled blue cheese, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper until well combined.
08 - Briefly warm tortillas on a pan or microwave to increase pliability for wrapping.
09 - Spread a spoonful of blue cheese dressing onto each tortilla. Layer with buffalo cauliflower, shredded lettuce, julienned carrot, sliced celery, and red onion.
10 - Top fillings with additional dressing if desired. Tightly roll each tortilla to enclose the ingredients. Serve immediately, optionally with extra celery and carrot on the side.
