If you are not interested in making anything out of cauliflowers and feel like people should just eat the real thing, good for you! Eat the real thing. I eat the real thing all the time, but...this is a great idea if you want a lower calorie option.

I have not tried these yet, but ran across the recipe and I will be trying them for sure.

http://www.happychomp.com/post/48093575572/recipe-taco-shells-made-from-cauliflower

Ingredients:

1 medium head of cauliflower (all the flowerets)
3 eggs OR 4 egg whites

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Use a food processor, blender, or hand grater to grate the cauliflower into a crumb-like texture
Microwave the cauliflower for 5 minutes, stirring a little halfway through
[If you don’t want to use a microwave for Step 3] Move the grated cauliflower to a pan and add 1/4 cup of water. Cover the pan and steam over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes. Just make sure to stir half-way through to avoid the cauliflower from burning. Keep in mind that you will have a bit more water to squeeze out.
Place the now-cooked cauliflower in a kitchen towel, that is on top of a seive, on a bowl (wow, that was confusing.. look at the pictures below). Make sure to drain as much exces water as possible.. there is surprisingly A LOT of water in cauliflower
Mix the drained cauliflower and eggs until smooth
Place the mixture on a baking sheet into circles at about 1/4” thick.
Bake for 10 minutes. Flip. Bake for another 5-7 minutes. This is important to dry out the tortilla
Move the tortillas to cooling rack to cool, so the bottom does not become soggy

    Looks good, do you know the calorie count? Corn tortillas are fairly low also, 80 cals for 2! Super easy to bake and taste better than the fried, boxed ones.

    I do something very similar as a pizza crust and it's absolutely delicious! My husband has actually grown to love my cauliflower crust pizza better than regular pizza!!

    That looks awesome. It would be great for me especially since I live in a mexican house but I don't have a food processor :'( Hopefully my blender doesn't liquify it

    Somewhere, there is a cauliflower omelet crying because it was called a taco.
