A friend recently shared this recipe from Happy Chomp for Cauliflower Taco Shells and I had to try it! We were so excited about the results, I totally blanked on taking pics to share! This recipe and process is similar to making a cauliflower pizza crust and again shows the magical power cauliflower! (Yes, I just said that!) Perfect timing for Cinco de Mayo!
Serves: 2-3
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 medium head of cauliflower (all the flowerets)
3 eggs OR 4 egg whites
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Use a food processor, blender, or hand grater to grate the cauliflower into a crumb-like texture
Microwave the cauliflower for 5 minutes, stirring a little halfway through
[If you don’t want to use a microwave for Step 3] Move the grated cauliflower to a pan and add 1/4 cup of water. Cover the pan and steam over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes. Just make sure to stir half-way through to avoid the cauliflower from burning. Keep in mind that you will have a bit more water to squeeze out.
Place the now-cooked cauliflower in a kitchen towel, that is on top of a seive, on a bowl. Make sure to drain as much exces water as possible.. there is surprisingly A LOT of water in cauliflower
Mix the drained cauliflower and eggs until smooth
Place the mixture on a baking sheet into circles at about 1/4” thick.
Bake for 10 minutes. Flip. Bake for another 5-7 minutes. This is important to dry out the tortilla
Move the tortillas to cooling rack to cool, so the bottom does not become soggy
