Do you ever wish you could eat tacos but without the accompanying carbohydrates? The same! For that reason, I had to become inventive in the kitchen in order to satisfy both my cravings for Mexican food and my need to limit my carb intake. Introducing my take on healthy taco shells: cauliflower and spinach. They’re delicious and nutritious. This recipe quickly became my go-to when I wanted tacos, drawing inspiration from traditional tortillas made with maize and wheat. If you’re looking to include more vegetables into your diet, are gluten-free, or are on a ketogenic diet, these shells are perfect for you. You can wrap up all your favorite fillings in them and not feel guilty about it. Plus, they’re quite adaptable!
Traditional Mexican sides are the perfect complement to these taco shells. Imagine tangy guacamole, fresh salsa, or a crunchy cilantro-lime slaw. To keep carbs to a minimum, why not round off your low-carb meal with a jicama salad and some grilled peppers?

How to Follow
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set your oven to 375°F, which is 190°C. Apply a little layer of cooking spray or a small amount of oil to the paper to avoid sticking.
2. Cook the riced cauliflower for four to five minutes, covered, in the microwave, until it becomes tender. After that, wait until it’s cold enough to handle.
Third, for perfectly crunchy taco shells, squeeze out all the excess liquid from the cooked cauliflower using a clean dish towel.
4. Transfer the drained cauliflower to a big bowl and add the chopped spinach, eggs, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Combine well. Incorporate well to create a “dough.”
5. Arrange the mixture on the baking sheet in eight equal amounts. Making a thin, circular form like a taco shell, flatten down each part.
Turn them brown and crisp up the edges by baking them for fifteen to twenty minutes. 6.
7. In order to keep the shells crisp, carefully remove them from the parchment and set them on a wire rack to cool.
Tips and Variations—Add half a cup of shredded cheese of your choice for a cheesy touch. Cheddar is fantastic!
For a little more heat, season the dough with a sprinkle of chili powder, cumin, or paprika.
