Directions For Low Carb Cauliflower Tortillas

  • Turn the oven on to 375 degrees F.  Then add line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Get your cauliflower ready by trimming off the leaves and stems.  Then cut it into smaller square pieces.  Place in the food processor to blend.  Pulse until the cauliflower is in very small, rice sized pieces (or smaller).  This should yield roughly 2 cups.
  • Cook the cauliflower in the microwave OR in a skillet.  The microwave will take 2 minutes on high.  The skillet will take roughly 8 – 12 mins.

 

COOKING FITNESS TIPS:  Remove all of the cauliflower and place it in a dish cloth or cheese cloth to remove moisture.   Let the towel suck out all the extra water in the vegetable. The less moisture the better.  USE DISH GLOVES and be VERY careful not to burn yourself with the hot steam in this process.

 

  • Whisk your eggs then add cauliflower, cilantro, lime, salt and pepper. Mix until everything is combined evenly.  Next, create small 6 inch tortillas and place them on the parchment paper.
  • Each tortilla will need to baked for 1o mins on each side.
  • Lastly, heat a skillet to medium heat.  Spray with olive oil and fry each tortilla to add a bit a of crisp to each side.  You should try to cook them for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.   Press down on them with a spatula to push out any excess moisture and to get an even browning on each side.
