Chorizo & Slaw Tacos [Cauliflower Tortilla]

Prep Time: 20 min
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serving Size: Makes 5 small tacos

These are amazing and a whole lot healthier than a regular flour tortilla. If you like fried eggs I would suggest adding one. I ate these for dinner but they would also be awesome to have at brunch too! I love the spicy sausage with creamy coleslaw. 

Ingredients:

[Cauliflower tortilla]
3.5 cups grated cauliflower
2 large eggs

[Taco Contents]
1/2 lb chorizo sausage
1 cup coleslaw
1 cup cheese
Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Process chopped cauliflower in food processor until texture is finer than rice.
3. Heat the cauliflower by either steaming for 5 minutes or microwaving for 5 minutes then let it cool down. I used the microwave because I was feeling impatient. 
4. Place the cauliflower on a kitchen towel and press in order to absorb all of the water out of the cauliflower, this will prevent your tortilla from being soggy, so make sure to dry it out as much as you possibly can!

5. Mix the eggs and shredded cauliflower in a bowl. Roll the dough into 5-6 balls and then flatten them out into tortilla shapes on greased parchment paper. I made my tortillas super thin, just make sure that you check your tortillas to make sure they wont rip when you try to fold them, you may have to keep them in the oven for a few extra minutes if your tortillas are thicker.  
6. Cook for 10 minutes, flip, then cook for 6 more minutes. While the tortillas are baking in the oven you should cook your chorizo in a skillet [about 10 minutes or until the meat isn't pink].
7. Once your tortillas are cooked you can cover them with whatever cheese you decide to use, and then place a few scoopfuls of chorizo on top of each tortilla.
8. Put back into the oven for 10 minutes and let the cheese melt. Next you can add the coleslaw and I would also recommend a fried egg. I also topped mine with fresh cilantro!
