    I found after many, many batches of cauliflower tortilla that if I bake my tortilla at a higher temp 400 and bake them 12 minutes before flipping, then another 10 t0 12 minutes, they hold up better. I bake them on parchment paper spratyed with a little Pam. Also, I used to wring out all the moisture but find that leaving the cauliflower a little wet also helps to make a tortilla that doesn't come apart as easily.

    These are so great!
    Im going to have to try this ... Thanks for the video link!

    That video link is awesome! I'm ashamed to say that on six months of P1, I never tried to rice cauliflower Bcz it sounded so hard/messy. I ate cauli mash all the time. I don't know why I had such a 'block' on the ricing. This made me feel like I could do it
    Thanks!

    I have some going in the oven now. . I was too scared of stepping away from comfort zone. So here I go... I used a bag of frozen cauliflower, cooked in micro 4 min, riced it, spread on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Used a square of it to press it out. Sprinkled with sea salt and pepper and a few with taco seasoning that was previously made before for Spanish "rice" I do. Wish me luck

    sdhinds -- did you try again and succeed? Have grated my cauliflower and now am trying to figure out how best to proceed. Am quickly scanning past posts on all these threads to determine best practices!

    Did you use an egg?

    I tried this last night, and my family was amazed. Used as a tortilla for a soft taco. I will adjust recipe next time I try, because it was a little too eggy for my taste (tasted like an omelette). Used 4 cups raw cauliflower florets and 2 eggs and spices. Will reduce to 1 egg or maybe 2 egg whites next time.

    Editing to add more details: I had a 32 oz. bag of cauliflower florets that I bought from Costco (not frozen). It was about 8 cups total raw. Super easy to grate with just a few pulses in food processor. Used half to try tortillas and will use remaining half in next day or two as rice. For the tortillas, after grating, I microwaved for about 3 minutes. Did not squeeze out water, though maybe i will next time, to get them thinner. I spread into circles on a Silpat (no sticking!) on my cookie sheet. Cooked on 400 for about 10 minutes, then flipped for another 5. Then browned them up even more in nonstick on stovetop. 4 cups raw made about 3 cups grated "rice" and then about 8 tortillas.

    I didn't retry. Had no more cauliflower left. It did however form a bit more the longer it sat (why it cooled). I did not use egg. I will the next time. Good job mimi
