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!
