Cauliflower Corn Tortillas Recipes

CAULIFLOWER TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Break the florets up into small pieces (including any thick stem parts). Transfer half of the cauliflower to a food processor along with half of the mozzarella. Pulse until the cauliflower breaks down and looks like rice. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with the remaining cauliflower and mozzarella.
• Toss the cauliflower mixture with 1 teaspoon salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Scoop batches of the cauliflower mixture onto a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. Transfer to another large bowl, then add the eggs and mix to combine.
• Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and oil the paper. Scoop out leveled 1/4 cups of the cauliflower mixture and evenly space 6 mounds on each baking sheet. Use your fingers to press and spread the mixture out into neat rounds about 5 inches wide (just like regular tortillas), making sure there aren't any holes. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the tortillas are firm and browned on the bottom, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets. Wrap and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
• To use the tortillas for tacos: Heat a little oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla and cook until warmed through and browned in spots, about 30 seconds per side.
• To use the tortillas for quesadillas: Cook as you would a quesadilla made with corn or flour tortillas.

HOW TO MAKE CAULIFLOWER TORTILLAS - RECIPE WITH 4 INGREDIENTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they are the consistency of rice. (Use the grate attachment if you have one.)
• Transfer to a large bowl and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes (or steam using your favorite method), until cooked. Cool until the cauliflower is cool enough to handle. Transfer to a cheese cloth or towel and squeeze tightly to get rid of as much extra liquid as possible. It should be dense and clumpy.
• Switch the food processor to the S blade and place the cauliflower back in. Add the eggs, mozzarella and salt. Process until smooth.
• Sprinkle the xanthan gum on top (do not dump it in one clump). Process until smooth.
• Drop the cauliflower mixture into six areas on the lined baking sheets. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread into thin circles. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are dry and the bottom is golden. (If both baking sheets don't fit in the oven side by side, do one at a time.) Carefully flip over, then bake for 4-6 more minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before moving.
• To make the sauce, whisk all ingredients in a small container. Cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to develop (you can do this overnight if you have time).
• Spread a tablespoon of the sauce over each cauliflower tortilla. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Fold in half.
• Heat an oiled pan over medium heat. Place two folded quesadillas in the pan. Fry for a couple of minutes, until browned, then flip and repeat on the other side. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.

CORN CASSEROLE WITH CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine whole kernel corn plus liquid with cream-style corn in a large bowl; gently mix until combined. Stir in cream cheese and butter. Add cornbread mix, stir until incorporated. Mix in cauliflower until just blended. Transfer mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

GRANNY'S CORN FLOUR TORTILLAS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour and cornmeal. Add baking powder and salt, and mix together well. Stir in water to form a crumbly dough. Work dough with your hands until it holds together.
• On a floured surface, knead dough until smooth. Divide dough into 10 to 12 pieces. Roll each into the shape of a ball. Cover lightly with saran wrap and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Flatten each piece of dough by hand, then roll into a 8 to 9 inch round.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the hot pan, and place one tortilla in the pan. Cook tortilla until light brown, turning to ensure equal browning. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

ALMOST-FROM-SCRATCH CORN TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Combine the masa and salt in a bowl; stir in the oil. Slowly stream in the water while mixing with your hand or a wooden spoon until the dough comes together into a ball.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until it is smooth and elastic - just a minute or two. Wrap in plastic, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or up to a few hours.
• Break off pieces of the dough (you're shooting for 12 to 16 tortillas total), and lightly flour them. Put them between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, and press them in a tortilla press, or roll them out or press them with your hands to a diameter of 4 to 6 inches. Begin to cook the tortillas as you finish pressing or rolling them.
• Put a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Cook the tortillas, 1 or 2 at a time, until brown spots appear on the bottom, about a minute. Flip, and do the same on the other side. Wrap the cooked tortillas in a towel to keep them warm; serve immediately, or cool and store tightly wrapped in the fridge for a few days.
