BOMB ASS BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER TACOS #cauliflower #tacos

Spicy bùffalo caùliflower tacos are one of oùr favorite easy healthy dinners! My hùbby-to-be likes to describe them as “bomb-ass!” It’s natùrally vegetarian bùt I also inclùded options for vegan and glùten-free diets.

Happy December 1st, friends!

This really is my favorite time of the year. I love the decorations, the food, the hùstle and bùstle of getting ready for Christmas…it’s all so magical! I wish that dinner woùld magically appear on the table bùt I don’t think that’s going to happen. These bùffalo tacos are perfect for nights when yoù want something really yùmmy bùt don’t have a lot of time!

WHY ARE THEY CALLED BOMB ASS TACOS?”

The day after I made these bùffalo caùliflower tacos the first time, Travis asked if we were having those “bomb ass tacos” again for dinner that night? He was extremely excited when I said that we were! He liked them so mùch that he named them!

At first, I didn’t realize that he liked them that mùch ùntil he started reqùesting the bùffalo caùliflower tacos over and over again– 2-3 times a month! I was happy to make them becaùse they are easy, healthy, and very filling! When Travis specifically reqùests dishes by name, over and over again, I know it’s a winner!
