Cauliflower Enchiladas

Cauliflower Enchiladas are a deliciously creative twist on traditional enchiladas, featuring roasted cauliflower wrapped in homemade low-carb tortillas. Topped with a zesty enchilada sauce and melted cheese, this dish is perfect for a healthy, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) - 100 grams
• Tomato sauce - 200 grams
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Bell pepper - 1 small, diced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Egg - 1 large

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and toss them with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender.
3. While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the sauce by sautéing the diced onion and bell pepper in a pan over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and half of the lime juice, and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, egg, and a pinch of salt to form a dough. Divide the dough into two portions and roll each out into a thin tortilla shape.
5. Once the cauliflower is done roasting, mash it lightly with a fork and add chopped cilantro and the remaining lime juice.
6. Spoon the cauliflower mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
7. Pour the sautéed sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
8. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve garnished with additional cilantro.
