Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add a steaming basket to a large pot. Fill with water up to the bottom of the basket. Add cauliflower, cover pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Steam cauliflower about 3 to 5 minutes to blanch, do not fully cook cauliflower.
- Remove pot from heat and place cauliflower florets on sheets of paper towel to absorb excess water. Add drained cauliflower to food processor and process on high speed. Turn cauliflower into large bowl and mash with a potato masher.
- Add slivered almonds to a mini chopper and process into a fine flour or use almond flour. Add 1/2 cup almond flour to bowl.
- Separate egg whites from egg yolks. Add egg whites to bowl. Do not use egg yolks. Mix all ingredients. If using, add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Measure 1/2 cup cauliflower for large tostadas or 1/3 cup cauliflower mixture for small tostados and place on one side of parchment lined baking sheet. Press cauliflower mixture into a circle working from the center outward. Use your finger to push rough edges back toward center, forming a smooth edge. Repeat, adding a total of 2 large or 3 small tostadas to each baking sheet.
- Place clean sheet of parchment paper on top of the baking sheet and press each tostada from its center outward, using your hand or a spatula to flatten each one as thin as possible.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until tostadas are browned around the edges. Remove from oven. Cool and loosen edges of each tostada by placing your hand underneath the parchment paper. Using a spatula work it around each tostada pushing from edge to center to loosen it without breaking. Remove from parchment paper and serve with your favorite Mexican filling.
