Now, if you haven’t had a girlfriend over to bake or cook, I highly recommend it! It makes the chore go faster, and the conversation is a great bonus. I have to say, this was the first time I have ever worked with cauliflower, so it was a whole new experience. However, fair warning, it does add a smell to your house when making these tortillas.
WHAT IS Weight Watchers?
When starting a new weight loss program or diet change, consult a doctor or physician about personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.
New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly allowance, which is handy when you need more points.
I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, blue plan, green plan, purple plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022 similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans.
No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime goal weight several times but stopped operating the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on. You stay on as a lifetime member, working towards your goal. Head on over ->here to get a month for free.
Weight Watchers Cauliflower Tortillas Ingredients:
How To Make Cauliflower tortillas:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut off, and only use, the head of the cauliflower (the florets).
Using a food processor, shred your cauliflower. I used the shredded cheese blade on my food processor.
Place the shredded cauliflower in a large, microwaveable dish and add about 4 Tablespoons of water.
Microwave on high for about 7-10 minutes or until the cauliflower is hot to the touch.
While your microwave is going, chop up your cilantro.
Once your cauliflower is done, scoop out chunks of it onto a thin towel, I used a cloth napkin. Do not do it all at once; just about a fistful is enough.
Squeeze the towel over a sink to remove the excess water and moisture from the cauliflower as much as possible. This will reduce the baking time of the tortillas. I used an ice cream scoop since the cauliflower was hot.
**Note: You can place the cauliflower in the fridge between squeezing chunks to help cool it off.**
Place the squeezed cauliflower into a large, dry bowl.
When you are done squeezing all the cauliflower, add in your eggs, lime juice, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. I also used Cabela’s Tequila Lime seasoning. You can add some lime zest as well for a little kick.
Mix everything with your hands until the egg is well-blended and the cilantro is fully folded in.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, then use a scoop to place piles of the cauliflower mixture on the pan. Flatten each scoop of cauliflower once you have filled the pan.
*Note: You don’t want them to be too thin because the tortillas will break apart when you try to fold/roll them into a taco.*
Bake the tortilla for about 10 minutes, then flip them.
Bake for another 3 to 5 minutes and remove from the oven.
Allow to cool, and then serve!! We stuffed ours with shredded Instant Pot Taco Chicken.
The only thing that had points was my cheese and sour cream!! Talk about a win!!

How To store Cauliflower Tortillas
Store in the fridge in an airtight container. I stack mine in the container with parchment paper between the tortillas.
You can freeze these homemade tortillas. Allow the tortillas to cool completely before freezing. To freeze them, stack them with parchment paper between each tortilla, seal them into a Ziploc bag, and get as much air out of the bag. If frozen properly, I use mine within thirty days. They can be stored for up to six months in the freezer.
How To Reheat Cauliflower Tortillas
In the oven for frozen, you will preheat it to 300 degrees. Then wrap aluminum foil and place it into the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes until thoroughly heated through. YOu can do them in stacks this way but keep the parchment paper in between.
If the tortilla is thawed or refrigerated, warm up skill on medium to low heat. You can use a bit of nonstick, butter, or oil and heat until cooked thoroughly. Be sure to flip the torilla
Taco Topping Ideas
- Instant Pot Chicken Taco Meat
- 2 Ingredient Chicken Tacos
- Homemade taco Seasoning
- Sour Cream– Use low-fat or fat-free sour cream to lower the points in this topping.
- Salsa– Many salsas work out to zero points; use your weight watchers app to make sure they are zero points
- Guacamole– Even though avocados have points, they are full of good fat and will fill you up faster. Using a 0-point shell and chicken taco meat leaves room for the extras in your weekly allowance.
- Cheese– Use full-fat cheese or low-fat cheese; I prefer to use regular cheese and use the points since I don’t eat a

Recipe Notes
*Note add another egg if to dry
**Note: You can place the cauliflower in the fridge between squeezing chunks to help cool it off.
** *Note: You don’t want them to be too thin because then the tortillas will break apart when you try to fold/roll them into a taco.
* *Note: If you make these the day before or ahead of time, you can heat them back up in a warm frying pan. I do not recommend microwaving them as they will get mushy.
Elise Cohen Ho says
Isn’t it amazing to think about all of the things we do with cauliflower nowadays?
Marcia says
Not a fan of cilantro, is there another herb that can be substituted?
Jenny says
You could leave it out. You may also try cumin if you are a cumin fan that may add some great flavor.
