I found this recipe on FB and thought that I might give this a try.
CAULIFLOWER TORTILLAS!!!
1 medium head of cauliflower (all the florets)
3 eggs OR 4 egg whites
Sea Salt to taste
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 sieve, on a bowl (When I make pureed cauliflower I just place it in a tea towel or paper towels and then squeeze as much water out as I can). Make sure to drain as much excess water as possible.. there is surprisingly A LOT of water in cauliflower
Mix the drained cauliflower, eggs, and sea salt 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.

I made those on Tuesday and they weren't that bad eaten with everything else...I honestly couldn't really tell the difference and my bf thought they were great. But eaten by itself it taste like cauliflower rubber egg omelette.
This recipe also sounds interesting but I haven't tried it yet http://comfybelly.com/2013/04/tortillas-and-a-book-giveaway/#more-127170 -
It's interesting how ingredients become "food". Like the whole potato chip, fast forward, and now made with beets or turnips or carrots.
No reason why a corn tortilla chip can't go through the same metamorphosis. I think I'd add some fat into the recipe. Then try it with beets, turnips or carrots or maybe all three combined. I want to make potato pancakes out of the same alternative starches. Maybe with some bacon added in. And scallions. And garlic.
And now wondering if one could make mashed beets? What is it in the potatoes that make them so fluffilicious? Something about the starch composition because russet mashed compared to waxy red bliss are totally differ animals.0 -

Will have to try these - I usually make the ones from Mark's Daily Apple. They have the consistency of a crepe and I really like the taste - they don't hold together quite as well as a real tortilla, but they definitely satisfy the craving for an old fashioned wrap!!

I saw one for a coconut flour tortilla on stupid simple paleo. I am going to try it this weekend. It does sound like less work. Let us know how it went.0
