Cauliflower Tortillas Recipe by The Big Mans World

When it comes to homemade wraps and tortillas, my favorite recipes to make are keto tortillas, low-calorie

Cauliflower is pretty much a staple vegetable in every keto diet. It’s extremely low in carbs and very mild-flavored, and it works in both sweet and savory recipes. Its most common use is probably in mock fried rice, but it also is often used as a pizza crust, mashed potato alternative, or even in a low-carb shake (trust me on this).

Now, I enjoy cauliflower on a very regular basis, as one of my favorite side dishes is buffalo cauliflower. However, cauliflower has proved its versatility once again by being used as a base ingredient in tortillas.

This cauliflower tortilla recipe is another one to add to your cauliflower arsenal. It’s easily one of the easiest recipes on the planet and best of all, needs just 4 ingredients to make.

What I love most about this recipe is just how versatile it is- Don’t just use it as a simple wrap or sandwich, but be creative- It works as quesadillas, grilled cheese toasties, and more! Who needs those Mission cauliflower tortillas now, huh?

How do you make cauliflower tortillas?

The Ingredients

• Cauliflower– Finely chop your cauliflower so it will be easier to process and break down. Do not use frozen cauliflower or cauliflower rice, as it will yield soggy tortillas.
• Salt– Draws out extra moisture from the cauliflower.
• Eggs– The binding agent used to hold the tortillas together and not break apart.
• Spices– Salt, pepper, Italian herbs, or any spices of choice.

The Instructions

Start by adding your chopped cauliflower into a food processor and pulsing it until it breaks down into a fine texture. Transfer it to a bowl, add salt, and microwave it for 5 minutes, until tender. Drain the cauliflower then use a cheesecloth or kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture.

Now, add the cauliflower into a bowl and add the eggs and spices and mix until combined. Using your hands, form 6 balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Press down on each ball to form a tortilla shape. Bake the cauliflower tortillas for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Finally, remove the tortillas from the oven and heat a non-stick pan with a tiny bit of oil. Once hot, add the tortillas to it and pan cook for 1-2 minutes, before using them as wraps, tacos, etc.

Tips to make the best cauliflower wraps for cauliflower tortillas

• You must squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure the cauliflower wraps become sturdy and durable.
• The pan-frying of the cooked tortillas is optional, but I find that they give them a more delicious flavor and hold the fillings so much more.
• Do not use frozen cauliflower rice or frozen cauliflower pieces, as they will contain excess liquid.
• Seasonings are only recommended if you want extra flavorful wraps. I prefer to keep them at a minimum as it detracts from the fillings or however else you use it.

Ways to use cauliflower tortillas

• Wraps– I love using these as cauliflower wraps! Fill it with some keto hummus and salad for a filling and low-carb lunch!
• Taco shells– Crisp up some tortillas on the stovetop and fill it with some grilled chicken, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese and enjoy them as cauliflower taco shells!
• Cauliflower tortilla chips– Cut your tortillas into triangles and bake them in the oven at 200C/400F for 8-10 minutes, until crispy (They are a fantastic alternative to low-calorie chips).
• Cauliflower grilled cheese– Place some shredded cheese between two cauliflower tortillas. Brush both sides with butter and grill on a pan or in a sandwich/panini press.
• Pizza– Make a tortilla pizza by spreading the tortillas with pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings and bake in the oven until the cheese has melted.
• Quesadillas- I love using these tortillas to make my famous keto quesadillas!

Storing, freezing, and reheating tips

• To store: Cauliflower tortillas should be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
• To freeze: Place leftovers in a shallow container or individual ziplock bags and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• Reheating: These tortillas are best reheated on a non-stick pan, until warm and crisp on the outside.
