Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Cauliflower Rice: Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency, ensuring there are no large chunks left.
- Cook Cauliflower Rice: Microwave the cauliflower rice for about 4 minutes until it becomes soft, allowing it to cook through evenly.
- Remove Excess Moisture: Once cooled slightly, wrap the cooked cauliflower rice in a clean towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible; this helps the tortillas hold their shape.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro if using. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape Tortillas: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin, round tortilla shape on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake First Side: Bake the tortillas in the oven for 10 minutes. This initial baking helps set the shape and cook the mixture through.
- Flip and Bake Second Side: Carefully flip each tortilla and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the tortillas are lightly golden and cooked on both sides.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the tortillas to cool slightly before using them to make wraps, tacos, or quesadillas.
Notes
- Cook the tortillas thoroughly to ensure they hold together well and don’t crumble.
- For added flavor, you can mix in shredded cheese with the cauliflower and eggs before baking.
- Store any leftover tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
