US Customary - Metric

Tomatillo Avocado Salsa:

  1. Broil the tomatillos, jalapeño, and onion for 15 minutes until blackened in spots and soft. You can also do this over an open flame if you have a gas stove.

  2. Once blackened, place them in a blender or food processor with the cilantro, avocado, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

Chipotle Mayo

  1. Mix together the 1/2 cup mayo with 6-8 tablespoons chipotle. Use less or more to reach your desired heat level.

Cauliflower Burgers

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a food processor, pulse the eggs, almond flour, arrowroot, salt, chipotle, and raw almonds together until blended but small pieces of almond still remain.

  3. Add in 1 cup of riced cauliflower and pulse until combined and semi smooth. Add in the remaining cauliflower and mix with a wooden spoon to combine.

  4. Divide into 8 burgers making sure to pack the cauliflower together well and place on the baking sheet. You can also use an English muffin mold - pack it full of the mixture and remove to form a perfectly round and packed burger.

  5. Bake for 35 minutes, flipping once.

  6. Assemble: Toast the burger buns, if using, then place some of the salsa on the bottom. Top with cauliflower burger, slaw with a squeeze of lime, jalapeño, and chipotle mayo.
