    I know this video is almost 5 years old, but I wanted to let Tara know that her tortilla recipe makes for a great pizza crust too, i just swapped out the cheddar cheese for mozzarella, made it one giant pizza, and spread it a little thicker than was suggested for tortillas. I baked for 10 minutes at 400, flipped it, and baked for another 10 minutes! Delicious!!

    Because of you I became a tortilla-addict yesterday and I wanna tell you that I love you for that! I live in switzerland, and of course we have mexican restaurants over here too, but they are not everywhere around the corner and also mostly not overly authentic. So I was all my life like "Tortilla? Nahh!" But now, and for ever, I will LOVE tortillas! THANK YOU SO MUCH WES!
    Here is how I did it: My daughter is egg sensitive so I made Tara's Tortillas, but without the eggwhite. To make it even more tantalizing, I added parts of Ketoconnect's seasoning. I used half Cheddar and half Raclette cheese for the perfect melting behaviour (did I mention that I'm swiss?). First I drained the raw cauliflowers with my slow juicer, as somebody suggested in the comments, what was perfect. As I have no microwave (again, swiss....) I dried/cooked the cauliflower in a wide skillet, seasoned, added the cheese, let it melt and then spread on the parchment paper. The batch was perfect! Baked as Tara suggests. Peeeerfect results! I hardly ever tried a keto recipe from the crazy internet that worked so well! No fallin' apart, no crumbling, just gorgeous, soft-crunchy tortilla shells.
    This, my dear american friends, will be my new bread. I will even try to freeze it (after spreading into form, before baking).
    The only thing I will do differently next time is to spread all of the mixture on as many pieces of parchment paper as needed, even if I can only bake them one portion after another. This because I experienced, that the cauli-cheese mixture will not return into that berfect spreadable batch from the first round, even if you gently heat it up again (at least not if you have to do it in a skillet or pan. Maybe a microwave would provide different results). So line them all out in the first go and bake one after another.
    Hasta la vista baby, olé!

      Yay for you! I love authentic Mexican food!! I hear the European mex restaurants are not so authentic, but I guess we're spoiled here in Colorado. We have many Mexican immigrants and restaurants opened by them. I'm a so-so Mexican cook, but I try to be better!

  • @vickigfromsewa2616
    @vickigfromsewa2616 5 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    What a fun video! A tip (like you, I learned the hard way): for the shaped taco shells, cut your parchment into one square for each one, draw a circle on the back, then when ready to shape, pick up the paper and drape the whole thing over a ruler (or a yardstick when making several) to cool. Peel off parchment and voila!: you have a flat-bottomed shell which stands up while you fill it. Love ALL your videos, Wes, and this one was particularly enjoyable. Thank you!

    I realize this is from 2018, so you’ve probably figured it out by now, but if you take a bit of foil and mold it over the ends of the roll and the bottles, you can get the roll to be stable while you drape your tacos 🌮. Thanks for all you testing, it makes it so much easier to achieve my keto goals to know the trials you have made and your reasons for liking one recipe over another. Ty ty ty

    tip: I discovered that the easiest and fastest way to drain the cauliflower is to use a juicer. We just pour the juice and use the dry matter that has been left.

    • @HighfalutinLowCarb
      @HighfalutinLowCarb  6 ปีที่แล้ว +37

Anyone who has tried low carb cooking for awhile knows that it doesn’t always go like the fancy videos show. You help keep me sticking to low carb and laughing through the process instead of getting frustrated and quitting:). Also, I like that you test these things out so I can see what I might run into and can better prepare and pick the best recipe. Thank you!

    Great video! I love the recipe comparisons. Tip: We use a dedicated 100% cotton tea-towel and a tortilla press to squeeze the water out of our cauliflower rice. You don't have to wait for it to cool and it really dries things out nicely. Plus the clean-up is easier than pulling out the juicer. ;-)

      ​@Andy w I do that as well more often than not, but sometimes I want a crunch! For the most part it is actually pretty easy to convert, but sometimes even just little cheese crunchies (the cheese taco shells left flat to cool and broken up) are nice to put in a taco salad without the shell or chips for instance. A lot of it is just texture. Plus if you make the shells while your cooking the filling, it doesn't really take any more time to prepare... just cleanup maybe. lol

  • @reowhite4862

    Love the video. Just FYI those bags of pre shredded cheese have a potato starch coating to keep the shreds from sticking together. It's convenient but you have to account for the carbs. I grate my own cheese it tastes better anyway. I will say that the more you can get them to brown up the more the resemble real tortillas if you don't they can be kinda eggy....

    When you cool and shape the tortillas, use two spouted liquid measuring cups to hold the dowel in place. These look so good. Hearing that Taco Bell is available through GrubHub has triggered my cravings so I am super grateful to find this alternative. I am going to make them this week.

    I absolutely LOVE your show and have to agree that you definitely need your own show on Food Network! So, one thing I keep seeing in all the keto and low-carb recipes, regarding cauliflower, is that people are microwaving the riced cauliflower and then having to struggle with squeezing out the moisture. The first time I tried riced cauliflower, for twice-baked loaded cauliflower mash, I toasted it in a dry non-stick skillet. It cooks the cauliflower and lets the moisture steam more naturally: it tastes so much better. Thank you for such an awesome show!

    Want to make the Keto Connect shells over the top? :D Just make the "tortillas", then in the same hot pan, place approx 1/4 cup of shredded colby pepper jack cheese - as if you were going to make a cheese "tortilla" - , then place the KC tortilla on the cheese & cook until the cheese is crispy. You can then lay it over your dowel or an oven rack to cool. YUM!

    • @1kinut800
      @1kinut800 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The problem with corn tortillas is the corn. Corn is a high carb food. But a corn tortilla (just one) made without flour only has about 13 grams of carbs; 1 serving of cauliflower has 5.3 grams. I think it's worth 13 or 26 (2 tacos) to have an actual corn tortilla just not all the time. Just read the labels to make sure there isn't any flour in the tortilla.

    I've used the dehydrator with success as an alternative to wringing out the cauliflower in a towel. It's very helpful if you just want to partially dehydrate something to take out some of the moisture for a recipe that uses watery vegetables like cauliflower and zucchini, etc. If you plan ahead and can spare some time before making your recipe, you could just place the cooked cauliflower in the dehydrator for a while until the desired dryness is achieved and then rice it in the food processor.
