Ingredients
  

Base Mixture
  • 2 cups riced cauliflower from about ¾ large head
  • 2 large eggs or use flax eggs for vegan
Flavor and Texture
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 0.5 lime juice and zest of half a medium lime
  • 1 tsp salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim the cauliflower and pulse in a food processor until it resembles couscous. You should get about 2 cups.
  3. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stir, then microwave for another 2 minutes. Alternatively, steam until tender.
  4. Let cool slightly, then place in a clean towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out all moisture.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cauliflower, cilantro, lime juice and zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Scoop mixture onto parchment paper, forming six even rounds. Flatten each into a thin circle.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes. Carefully flip and bake for another 5–7 minutes until set and golden.
  8. Cool on a wire rack. Then heat a skillet over medium and pan-fry each tortilla 1–2 minutes per side until lightly browned.

Notes

For best results, ensure cauliflower is thoroughly dry. Add spices like garlic powder or cumin for enhanced flavor. Pan-fry post-baking for extra crispness. Avoid frozen cauliflower unless drained thoroughly.
