I think tacos are probably my favorite dish to eat. They’re incredibly versatile, work for just about any meal (think breakfast tacos and dessert tacos!) and they taste great at 2 in the morning.
The tortillas are like little mini vehicles delivering your favorite tasty foods to your mouth. I’m all for it.
But just like with using zucchini to make noodles instead of the traditional route, I embraced the paleo version of tortillas and tried my hand at a cauliflower version.
I have to admit, these things are pretty awesome. If you’re just trying to watch your carb intake or add some more veg to your diet, I would highly recommend these. Plus, they give you an excuse to eat more of the best food of all time.
I won’t say that they are traditional tortillas because they’re not but they are an awesome substitute with good flavor that hold up well to whatever ingredients you like.
These cauliflower tortillas are adapted from a recipe by Slim Palate.

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Notes
Depending on how big your cauliflower is, you may need more or less egg. The mixture will be runny, but shouldn’t be liquid either. Typically, about two cups of grated cauliflower works with two eggs.
This recipe is easy doubled or tripled.
