Ingredients

Instructions

  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.

Apryl C ★ 5.0/5

This was a delicious recipe that seems healthier than the cauliflower tortillas that you buy at the store. However, I used cheddar cheese and it turned out fantastic.

vietnamese ★ 4.0/5

gud

Esder S ★ 5.0/5

I like that this is a cheaper alternative to buying real cauliflower tortillas at Whole Foods. It does take time but it’s worth it

Jannet H ★ 5.0/5

This quesadilla is very cheesy and decadent. However, I don't feel heavy and full after eating it. I love that it's low carb and can full a full fat cheese to make it keto-friendly too.

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
