Fried Fish Tacos with Cauliflower Tortillas

Taco Tuesdays are awesome! Cauliflower tortillas? That doesn’t sound right. LOL

I never thought I would like cauliflower tortillas or even how they would hold together. There are many recipes online for making wraps with cauliflower, but most of them contain cheese so I wanted one that didn’t. It does contain eggs though for those looking for a vegan option.

Pleasantly surprised how they tasted and also held together with the fish. Definitely going to be a low carb option I’ll be making again. You can choose to make 6 small tortillas or 4 medium sized ones.
