Simple Cauliflower Buffalo Bite Lettuce Wraps with Avocado Crema – a simple and delicious weeknight dinner! (Whole30/Paleo/Dairy-free/Vegan)
I have another fun and delicious weeknight dinner for you guys!!
More and more our family is trying to incorporate more plant-based eating into our weekly rotation of meals. Some weeks its 2 or 3 meals, other weeks its only one, but I just feel a bit better when we do! I absolutely LOVE this recipe for Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps, so I thought I would do a fun spin on a buffalo chicken recipe – using roasted cauliflower instead of chicken!
How to make avocado crema:
But, my favorite part is probably the avocado crema …. oh my gosh you guys. It is SO easy and so, so yummy! And so simple – just 3 little ingredients, including my go-to – Califia Farms unsweetened almond milk! (I use it in almost everything). I can’ wait to make the avocado crema again and add it to breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, eggs, etc.
This comes together incredibly quickly and I know anyone who tries it isn’t even going to miss the chicken!

What are the advantages of a plant-based diet?
There are many! But they include: less inclusion of processed foods, limiting/avoiding animal products, fewer added sugars, and overall better health – including a lowered risk and reduction of symptoms of heart disease and diabetes!
