Turkey Tacos with Cauliflower Tortillas

Turkey Tacos with Cauliflower Tortillas



In honor of Cinco De Mayo tomorrow, I bring you my very own turkey tacos with homemade cauliflower tortillas. To say these were AWESOME is an understatement. The tortillas are like a soft shell. Also, please note that the seasoning in the turkey taco meat is salt free. It is impossible to find any store bought taco seasoning without any salt....guaranteed you can't taste the difference! Enjoy!!!



Turkey Taco Meat:
1 lbs ground turkey
2 tbsp cumin powder
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp water

Brown turkey in sauté pan on medium high heat. Once browned, add remaining ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

 Makes 6 servings

Ciliantro Lime Cauliflower Tortillas:
1 medium head of cauliflower
3 eggs
1 lime
½ cup cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In food processor, pulse cauliflower florets until it looks like couscous or rice. Add cauliflower to microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through. Using a kitchen towel or cheese cloth, squeeze out as much water as possible from the cauliflower to make flour (*NOTE: the cauliflower and water will be very hot…kitchen gloves are recommended for this part). In a medium bowl whisk the eggs. Add cauliflower powder, lime, cilantro, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. On a baking sheet sprayed with coconut cooking spray (or using parchment paper, which works best if available), shape 4-inch diameter small, thin tortillas. Bake for 10 minutes. Carefully flip each tortilla and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes. 

Makes 6-8 tortillas
