Quesadilla anyone?

So today I tried a recipe I've been wanting to try for a while.  Once I saw a copycat Taco Bell Mexican pizza  recipe I knew I had to try these because the tortilla is the basis of the Mexican pizza.I got this recipe from the Innovative Aesthetics Facebook page.After mixing all the glop up here is what it looks like on the sheet pan before it went into the oven:


Here is at the half way point after I flipped them

And here is one little fella getting fried up in a pan


Since the recipe makes 6, and its unrestricted (other than lowering your protein amounts due to the eggs), I figured I'd have a quesadilla for lunch then Mexican pizza for dinner

Ta dahhhhhhh!

Next up the Mexican pizza... watch for that recipe coming soon

Tortillas (Cauliflower)

Ingredients

  • ¾ head of cauliflower riced or 2 cups riced and packed
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. For these I actually rice my cauliflower slightly more fine than cauliflower rice. Toss ¾ a head of cauliflower cut up and most of the stem removed and pulse until you get a texture slightly finer than rice. (Once it is riced measure it to make sure you have 2 cups packed.)
  3. Place riced cauliflower in bowl and microwave for 2 minutes and stir, then another 2 minutes and stir again then place in a dish towel and squeeze excess water out as hard as you can. (You’re going to want to get out as much water as you can and be careful because it will be hot.)
  4. Place drained cauliflower back in bowl and add 2 eggs, salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
  5. As a note it will be a little bit runny but shouldn't be pure liquid either. Spread mixture onto a baking sheet into 6 small fairly flat circles.
  6. Place in the oven for 10 minutes then pull out of the oven and carefully peel them off the parchment and flip them and place back in the oven for 5-7 more minutes.
  7. Once they are done place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
  8. Heat a medium sized pan over medium heat and place the tortillas in the pan pressing down slightly and brown them to your liking. (Don’t skip this step because it gives them slightly crispy on the edges and gives them a wonderful taste.)
