1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Rice the cauliflower using a food processor until it resembles fine crumbs. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl.
03 -
Microwave the riced cauliflower for about 5 minutes, then let it cool slightly.

Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the shells are firm to the touch.
08 -
Allow the shells to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the parchment paper. Serve with your favorite taco fillings.
# Notes:
01 -
For a cheesy twist, try adding some grated Parmesan to the mixture.
02 -
If your kids are not fans of spinach, you can substitute with finely chopped kale or omit it altogether.
03 -
To spice things up, add a pinch of chili powder or cumin to the mix.

These shells can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to three days, making them perfect for meal prep.

If you have picky eaters, let them choose their own fillings to make taco night more fun and interactive.
