Tips for making Cauliflower Tortillas

Using a cheesecloth to remove any liquid from the cauliflower is an important part of the recipe process. Essentially this step is how you make a flour-like material to bind the rest of the ingredients together. If the cauliflower is too wet, the tortillas are not likely to hold together well.

In place of a cheesecloth, you may use a nut milk bag or kitchen towel. I suggest purchasing either a cheesecloth or nut milk bag because they are so handy to have in the kitchen. You can use them for homemade cheese, yogurt, nut milks, juices, as well as for recipes that call for cauliflower or broccoli as substitutes for flour.

Removing as much water as possible is the best tip I can give, otherwise the recipe is fairly straight forward! Steam the cauliflower, shred the cheese, crack in the eggs and mix the dough all together and bake until golden brown.

Can Cauliflower Tortillas be Dairy-Free?

It is possible to make a dairy-free version of these cauliflower tortillas. Removing the cheese and adding a bit of gluten-free, ketogenic friendly flour will make these a viable option for people who prefer dairy-free foods. Substitute the cheese with almond or coconut flour. You do not need much. Start with 2 tablespoons of flour and increase as needed until the dough holds together.
