Instructions: How to Make Cauliflower Tortillas

Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower

Wash the cauliflower head thoroughly and cut it into large florets.
Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or a food processor.
Place the grated cauliflower in a perforated plate and steam in a steamer for about 15 minutes.
Allow the steamed cauliflower to cool completely.

Step 2: Remove Excess Moisture

Once cooled, transfer the steamed cauliflower to the center of a clean, dry cloth.
Wring the cloth tightly to squeeze out as much water as possible. Removing excess moisture is key to achieving the right texture for the tortillas.

Step 3: Prepare the Tortilla Mixture

Transfer the dry cauliflower to a bowl.
Add the egg, salt, and black pepper powder. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4: Shape the Tortillas

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a baking sheet with high-quality parchment paper.
Divide the cauliflower mixture into four portions.
Spread each portion onto the parchment paper using your fingers, shaping it into a tortilla. Adjust the thickness to your preference.

Step 5: Bake the Tortillas

Bake the tortillas in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Flip them carefully and bake for an additional 7-8 minutes until firm and slightly golden.
Once done, transfer the tortillas to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the cauliflower tortillas warm, topped with your favorite filling. Whether you prefer a simple veggie wrap, a taco-style treat, or a hearty protein filling like Soy Bhurji, these tortillas are a versatile addition to any meal.
