Ingredients

  • 16 oz cauliflower
  • 3 large eggs
  • 12 oz light shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 4 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsps ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese

Directions

  • Enchiladas: mix cauliflower, eggs and mozzarella cheese. On 2 greased cookie sheets, drop dough by scant 1/3 cup, to form 12 6” rounds. Bake one pan at a time for 12-14 minutes or until edges have browned slightly and crust has slightly golden hue. Let cool on pan. Once shells have cooled, carefully loosen them from the pan and let set.
  • Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  • Enchilada sauce: cook and stir onion, garlic and chili powder in oil in a pan on the stove over medium heat, until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add oregano, cumin, salt, pepper and tomato sauce. Stir until sauce is heated. Mix cheeses in separate bowl.
  • Take each shell and dip into heated enchilada sauce and then place golden-side up into an ungreased 9X13” casserole pan. Add 1/4 cup cheese in each shell. Roll and place seam-side down in pan until all shells have been used. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Pour remaining tomato mixture over enchiladas, and top with the rest of the cheese. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Optional: top with shredded lettuce, olives and chopped, fresh tomato.
