Cauliflower Mexican Tortilla Recipe

Cauliflower Mexican Tortilla Recipe

I’m a huge fan of Mexican cuisine since I’ve been living in Los Angeles for most of my adult life. However, eating tacos with corn or flour tortillas posed a huge challenge during my weight-losing journey because of the high carb count. So I wanted to share a recipe for a Mexican Cauliflower Tortilla that I made and ate while I was very strict with my low carb eating routine. Check out this recipe below.

Here's my recipe for a Mexican cheese quesadilla using my low carb Mexican tortilla recipe

Ingredients

Cauliflower Tortilla

  • 2 cups or 200 oz of grated raw cauliflower
  • 2/4 cup of egg beaters or egg whites (no yolks)
  • 1 cup or 3 oz Mexican style blend cheese

Salsa

  • 1 cup of diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup of minced fresh cilantro
  • 4 tsp of chopped white onions
  • 4 tsp of lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp of sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp of ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp of ground cayenne

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 425F

    1. Grate the cauliflower with a cheese grater or place into the blender (pulse for 10-15sec) until it’s the size of a piece of rice or smaller
    2. Squeeze out excess water from the cauliflower using a cheesecloth
    3. Combine grated cauliflower, egg, and cheese until mixed completely
    4. Flatten out the mixture into 4 tortillas about 6″ wide; the thinner the tortilla, the more evenly these pieces will bake; discard any excess water that’s in your mixture
    5. Bake for 15-20 minutes on each side for a total of 30-40 minutes. Helpful tip: Let the tortilla cool for 3 mins before carefully flipping it over to the other side to bake; this cooling process will help the tortilla from breaking apart. Once baked fully baked on both sides, let cool them for a few mins and then serve.

    Salsa

      1. Mince the tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
      2. Mix these ingredients with the spices and lime juice.
      3. Serve with the quesadillas.
