Taco Pizza with Cauliflower CrustAfter making a cauliflower pizza crust and enjoying it so much, I knew another pizza was in my future.  Sooner than I probably needed it to be.  Since I had already bought the items to make some tacos, I decided to make a Taco Pizza with the Cauliflower Pizza Crust.  The crust is really good, but very flimsy and should be eaten with a fork.  The cauliflower takes on a roasted flavor and the creamy rice adds a really good texture.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust – Vegan & GF

Ingredients

  • 4 Cups Riced Cauliflower
  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Oregano
  • 1 Tsp Basil
  • 1/2 Teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 3/4 Cups Creamy Brown Rice Farina
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 2 Flax Eggs

Preparation

  1. Shred cleaned cauliflower in your food processor.  If you don’t want a lot of leftover riced cauliflower, start with just a few florets at a time and measure out after it is shredded, then continue.
  2. Turn oven to 350 degrees.
  3. In a medium pot on low setting stir your cauliflower and add your spices.
  4. After 5 minutes of stirring (keep stirring so it won’t burn) add your rice and water and keeping mixing.
  5. Turn off the burner after a minute then add flax eggs.  Mix everything really well until completely combined.
  6. Pour “dough” onto a parchment covered baking sheet and, using your fingers, press out flat, a little more than 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes.
