# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil.
02 - Combine all-purpose flour, water, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
03 - Add cauliflower florets to the batter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Arrange the coated florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Drizzle or spray olive oil over the battered cauliflower. Bake for 20 minutes, turning the florets halfway through until golden.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce, melted unsalted butter, and honey or maple syrup, if using.
06 - Remove the cauliflower from the oven and gently toss with buffalo sauce. Return to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until crispy and caramelized.
07 - Mix sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, crumbled blue cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
08 - Lightly warm the flour tortillas to make them pliable for wrapping.
09 - Spread a generous spoonful of blue cheese dressing onto each tortilla. Layer on buffalo cauliflower, shredded lettuce, julienned carrot, sliced celery, and sliced red onion.
10 - Drizzle with extra blue cheese dressing, if desired. Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling and secure the wrap.
11 - Serve immediately, accompanied by extra celery sticks and carrot for garnish, if preferred.
