For Cauliflower Tortillas / Wraps:

• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup (about 85 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) xanthan gum

For Low Carb Quesadilla Filling (Optional):

• 6 tablespoons (90 ml) mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) jarred jalapeños, minced (include liquid from jar)
• 3/4 teaspoon (3.75 ml) paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) garlic powder
• Cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)
• 1 1/2 cups (about 170 grams) shredded cheddar cheese

How To Make Low Carb Keto Cauliflower Tortillas

1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Sheets: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Pulse Cauliflower: Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
3. Cook & Dry Cauliflower: Microwave the riced cauliflower for 8-10 minutes, or steam until cooked. Cool, then squeeze out excess moisture using a cheesecloth or a clean towel.
4. Mix Tortilla Ingredients: Return the dried cauliflower to the food processor. Add eggs, mozzarella, and salt. Process until smooth. Sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture and process again to integrate.
5. Shape & Bake Tortillas: Distribute the cauliflower mixture into six portions on the prepared baking sheets, spreading each into a thin circle. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are dry and golden. Flip each tortilla and bake for an additional 4-6 minutes. Allow to cool on the sheets for 10 minutes.
6. Prepare Quesadilla Filling: Mix the mayonnaise, minced jalapeños, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate to blend flavors.
7. Assemble & Cook Quesadillas: Spread a tablespoon of the jalapeño mayonnaise mixture over each tortilla. Top with a quarter cup of shredded cheddar. Fold in half. Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat and cook each quesadilla until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Recipe Tips

• Dry the Cauliflower Well: After cooking, ensure you squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower. Excess water can make the tortillas soggy instead of crisp.
• Evenly Spread Xanthan Gum: Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the cauliflower mixture to avoid clumps. This helps create a uniform texture that holds together well.
• Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and achieve an even golden color without burning the edges of the tortillas.
• Watch the Oven: Keep an eye on the tortillas as they bake, as oven temperatures can vary. Remove them when the edges are dry and the bases are golden to ensure they are crispy but not burnt.
• Let Them Cool: Allow the tortillas to cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before handling. This cooling period helps them set and makes them easier to lift without breaking.

How To Store and Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover cauliflower tortillas cool to room temperature. Then, stack them with parchment paper in between and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: Place the cooled tortillas between sheets of parchment paper and store them in a sealed freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To use, thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for about 30 minutes before reheating in a dry pan or oven.
