    Low-carb cauliflower tortillas. These are a revelation! They're low calorie, low carb, and somehow still delicious :) Perfect for making low-carb tacos or lunch wraps.

    You guys have probably noticed by now how much I love carbs. Pasta, bread, rice... it's alllll welcome here.

    You may have also noticed how I apparently like to torture myself by experimenting with low carb recipes (low carb hummus, low carb tabbouleh, low carb pizza... what can I say, I find it weirdly fun). They almost always involve cauliflower - perhaps not the most original ingredient for a low carb recipe, but when it works as well as it does, who am I to argue?

    My latest personal challenge was to make a low-carb cauliflower tortilla, perfect for wrapping around whatever fillings take your fancy. These cauliflower tortillas are great served for lunch as a low-carb wrap, filled with cheese, salad, veggies, hummus, or whatever else you enjoy. They also make a great low-carb taco if you choose to fill them with beans, sautéed veggies, avocado, and the like. Basically, anything you'd ever wrap in carbs - wrap it in these cauliflower tortillas instead.

    I know the recipe looks long, but it actually couldn't be easier. I'm really not sure how I managed to stretch it out to 5 paragraphs. The basic idea is blitz --> fry --> eat. That's it. You don't need to precook the cauliflower, you don't need to wring it in a towel, you don't need to use multiple mixing bowls. Just throw it all in a food processor, and boom. There's your tortilla mix.

    Now, before anyone makes these and then complains that 'waaa, they taste nothing like real tortillas'... duhhh. They're made from cauliflower and egg, of course they don't taste anything like real tortillas. In fact, they don't have a huge amount of flavour at all (unless you add some herbs or spices, which would totally be doable), which is why they're so great for wrapping around all kinds of fillings.

    In short: if you're looking for a recipe for low-carb tortillas that taste exactly like their carby cousins, this is not the recipe for you. This recipe is not an imitation, it's an alternative. But if you just want something tasty and low-carb to wrap around your lunch, make these and enjoy! At just 57 calories and 2.5g of carbs per tortilla, you can't go wrong.

    I personally enjoyed a couple of these low-carb cauliflower tortillas wrapped around a little grated cheddar, some cherry tomatoes, avocado and salad leaves, and I had a seriously enjoyable lunch (they're great served warm or at room temperature). Who'll join me for the leftovers?

    Ingredients

    • 330 g cauliflower (~ ½ medium head)
    • 4 eggs
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • Salt
    • Black pepper
    • Spray oil
    • Your choice of fillings, to serve

    Instructions

    • Cut the cauliflower into a few chunks, and blitz in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs (you should end up with around 2 cups). Add the eggs, garlic powder and salt and pepper, and blitz again until well mixed (the mixture will be slightly foamy).
    • Lightly spray a frying pan with oil, and place over a medium-low heat. Add about 2 tablespoons of the cauliflower mixture to the pan, and use the back of a spoon to carefully spread it out to form a circle around 6 inches wide. If any gaps arise, smooth them over with the back of the spoon. Don’t worry if it’s not completely flat or smooth at this point - it will flatten out when you turn it over.
    • Leave the cauliflower tortilla to cook for several minutes without touching it. After a few minutes, carefully poke the edge of a spatula underneath one side of the tortilla. If it is golden brown underneath and is holding together well, carefully flip it over. Use the spatula to firmly press the tortilla all over - this helps to keep it nice and flat. Cook for a few more minutes, until both sides are golden brown.
    • Transfer the tortilla to a plate (keep warm in a low oven, if you like) while you repeat with the remaining cauliflower mixture - I made 8 tortillas in total. You may need to respray the pan with a little more oil in between batches.
    • When you’ve cooked all of the cauliflower mixture, serve the tortillas with your choice of filling.

      I followed through and made these yesterday, but didn't eat them until this evening. Used them to wrap around some steak and fresh spinach. Wow! 2g of carbs (or slightly less). That's even better than the EXPENSIVE low carb tortillas I usually use. And the taste was so neutral -- no CAULIFLOWER! taste. I will definitely make these again and again. Thanks.

      I recently made the cauliflower tortillas from The Iron You http://www.theironyou.com/2015/11/cauliflower-tortillas.html They were good, but a lot of work, with the squeezing, and the cooking in the oven, and then pan frying. Also, when they were done, they were stiff (like a tostado), which worked great as a layer in a Cheesy Enchilada recipe. I will try your version, especially for the "wrap-ability." Will comment when taste test is complete!

      Would love to try these! They sound delicious! Do you think they could be made ahead of time (placed in the fridge or possibly even frozen?) and then reheated in the oven? Would love to make a huge batch if I could.

        I haven't tried freezing them, but I say give it a go - worth trying once! They're pretty cheap to make, so you haven't lost much if they're no good frozen :) As for storing in the fridge, you could store them for a couple of days, but I probably wouldn't store them much longer than that. Let me know how you get on - enjoy!

      They sound like a good alternative to me. I think I would spice them up a little but I bet they do the job perfectly well

        You could definitely add whatever spices you fancy - customise them to match whatever fillings you're planning :)
