Keto Mediterranean Tortillas
Prep
Cook
Total
Yield 6–8 Tortillas
Ingredients:
3 pasture raised eggs, organic
1 head cauliflower, organic
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
Pinch black pepper (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F.
Step 2: Prep your cauliflower by cutting off stems and washing the florets. Next add your cauliflower to a food processor or blender and mix until you have "flour." (This will roughly be about 3 cups worth of "flour.")
Step 3: Next add the "flour" to a cooking pot with 1/4 cup of water, and allow cauliflower to cook for 10 minutes. Let it cool, then transfer it to a kitchen towel (or muslin cloth) and squeeze out as much water as possible.
Step 4: In a medium mixing bowl, add your cauliflower flour, eggs, salt, and herbs. Mix by hand.
Step 5: Line your baking tray with parchment paper. Add 2 tablespoons of mixture onto parchment paper. With your hand (or the back of a spoon) form a flat, even circle. Repeat until all the mixture has been used. (You will have about 6–8 flat circles.) Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes, remove from oven and flip each tortilla and cook for more 5 minutes.
Step 6: Before serving, heat and lightly brown tortillas in a hot skillet.
Step 7: Enjoy!

Special Notes:
Feel free to add different herbs that you like for this recipe. To make it fat-burning, add in 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper and it will give it more of a chili flavor. I also like rosemary which has a great flavor and is excellent for gut and brain health.
This recipe would be great to serve with our Lemon Creamy Superfood Guacamole and our Keto Chicken Fajita recipe!
Dr Jockers Comments
These Mediterranean tortillas are a fantastic low-carb recipe that tastes great and uses anti-inflammatory ingredients that support your gut and immune system. This recipe is easy to make and works really well!
Pasture-raised eggs are full of healthy fats, phospholipids and vitamin A, D, E and K2 to support your brain, vision, bone, cardiovascular and immune health. Cauliflower is rich in prebiotic fiber to support the gut microbiome and sulforphane which supports the liver’s detoxifying enzymes.
Mediterranean herbs such as thyme, basil, oregano, and rosemary are carminatives that help support the production of stomach acid, bile and pancreatic enzymes. These herbs also help to kill of pathogens and reduce gas and bloating while supporting healthy bowel motility.

i hate cauliflower. what can i sub it with? brocolli ?
Yes you can try that!
Casava flour
I bet you wouldn’t even know it was cauliflower if someone else made it for you!
When you list nutrients , I wish you would list potassium and calcium. Most food companies do. There are many drugs and food that deplete your potsssium
like asthma inhalers, antibiotics, some blood pressure pills , garlic etc. many of us have to count each day how many mg’s we consumed so we don’t go over and have heart problems. And as we get
older they have us counting our daily
Uptake of calcium in food.
Please consider adding these two.
