Buffalo Cauliflower Tostada

     Who among us doesn't LOVE LOVE LOVE Mexican !?  I know I do, ... so when I go out to eat Mexican my Healthy Tip I figured out is to strategize my first 5 minutes after I sit down!  I order a side salad immediately  with out croutons or cheese, and ask for a bowl of salsa to come with my side salad. I DONT touch the chips til my salad arrives and when it does, I pour the bowl of salsa on top of my salad and crumble 5-6 large chips on top and eat slowly while everyone else DEVOURS baskets of chips and salsa !!!  Meanwhile, I am perfectly satisfied because I am getting all the flavor and the crunch as everyone else !!!  PERFECTION  I leave a happy camper ... especially because I try a bite or two of what everyone else has ordered for a fraction of the calories !!!  But when I want the other stuff I make my own !!!  And why not, especially when you have healthy alternatives available !!!  Enjoy  ;)

Ingredients for the Cauliflower Tostada:
1 head of Cauliflower cleaned and diced into crumbles ( I use my Pampered Chef dicer, or you can use a food processor~ just as long as you get the crumbled consistency ~ my head made 5 cups )
1 egg
1/2 cup egg white
dash salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon dried onions
1 cup shredded mozzarella

     Mix all together and form into small thin circles and bake at 450 for 15-20 minutes, depending on how crispy you want your cauliflower shell. This will make SEVERAL, so you will have plenty to freeze for next time!  Enjoy ;)
