By now it’s pretty clear that cauliflower can be turned into just about anything if you set your mind to it. You can use it as a substitute for chicken, or to make a lighter version of mac and cheese, and even as a replacement for rice. Just when you thought we’d reached peak cauliflower, a new grocery product comes into town and totally blows our collective minds: cauli tortillas!

Last week CAULIPOWER announced that they’re launching a new frozen, ready-to-make cauliflower tortilla in two varieties. The company, which is known for its pizzas, pizza crusts, and sweet-potato bread substitutes, will be selling their brand new cauliflower tortilla products starting in February at select supermarkets and on Amazon.

“CAULIPOWER tortillas are the gluten-free solution to quesadillas, burritos, tacos, wraps and more, with fewer calories, less fat, more fiber, and Vitamin C,” says CAULIPOWER in a press release. These new tortillas proudly tout cauliflower as the first ingredient, meaning these are authentically cauliflower-based and aren’t loaded with other ingredients. “The new products are wheat and dairy-free, vegan, Non-GMO, and preservative-free.”

The tortilla company offers two types: an original version that contains cauliflower, corn masa (dough made from corn flour), yeast, salt, baking powder, guar gum, and xanthan gum, and a grain-free version that substitutes the corn masa for chickpea and cassava flours, coconut oil, and flaxseed meal for gluten-free folks. Both are frozen foods but can be cooked and used just like regular tortillas.

At a serving size of two tortillas, the original flavor has 120 calories, 1g fat, and 3g fiber while the grain-free version has 140 calories, 4g fat, and 3g fiber. So if you’re looking for a healthy substitute to make gooey cheese or spinach quesadillas for dinner, February isn’t far away at all.
