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.

Steps:
- In a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil on medium for frying.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Add Panko breadcrumbs into a bowl and to this, add 1 tsp cayenne, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp chipotle chili powder, 1 tsp black pepper and mix together. Add salt to taste.
- In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, water, and 1 tsp cayenne, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp chipotle chili powder, 1 tsp black pepper, and ⅓ cups of Texas Pete Hot Sauce to create a batter.
- Dip the 1" to 2" cauliflower florets into the all-purpose-flour mixture first, and then dip them into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring all florets are covered completely.
- Fry cauliflower florets slices until golden-brown. Place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up the oil, then place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drizzle the 1 cup of Texas Pete Hot Sauce onto the cauliflower wings (add more if more spice is desired). Bake for 7 minutes while heating tortillas.
- Assemble by spreading homemade ranch in the middle of the tortilla and then placing 3-4 cauliflower wings onto the tortilla. Add lettuce, red cabbage, avocado slices, cilantro, lime (optional) cheese, and more hot sauce. Serve.
- Enjoy!

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
- For the cabbage slaw: Toss together the green cabbage, red cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- For the chipotle avocado sauce: Combine the chipotle in adobo sauce and the cilantro in a mini food processor, pulsing until finely chopped and scraping down the sides as needed. Add the avocado, lime juice, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- For the crispy cauliflower: Whisk together the white rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the beer until smooth (the texture and consistency should resemble pancake batter).
- Dip one-third of the cauliflower florets in the batter and coat well. Allow the excess batter to drip off and carefully place cauliflower into the hot oil. Fry until cauliflower is tender and golden brown on all side, 4 to 5 minutes total.
- Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet, season lightly with salt and hold in the warm oven. Bring the oil back to 350 degrees F. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower and batter and fry two more batches.
- To toast the tortillas, warm in batches in a dry large skillet over medium-low heat, 5 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp kitchen towel and microwave for 25 seconds. Wrap in a dry kitchen towel to keep warm.
- To assemble, spread a layer of the Chipotle Avocado Sauce in the center of each toasted tortilla. Top with a few pieces of Crispy Cauliflower, Cabbage Slaw and pico de gallo. Serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to grate the cauliflower. This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the cauliflower is evenly grated.
- Be sure to squeeze out all of the excess moisture from the grated cauliflower. This will help to prevent the tortillas from becoming too soggy.
- Use a nonstick skillet to cook the tortillas. This will help to prevent them from sticking and burning.
- Cook the tortillas over medium heat. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly and thoroughly.
- Be sure to flip the tortillas halfway through cooking. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower tortillas are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional flour tortillas. They are low in carbs and calories, and they are also a good source of fiber. Cauliflower tortillas can be used to make a variety of dishes, including tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. They are also a great option for people who are following a gluten-free or low-carb diet.
