First, you want to do is pour 2 cups of water into your 8 quart Instant Pot. If you are using a 6 quart pour 1 cup water. Sit trivet in the pressure cooker.
Now prep your head of cauliflower. You will want to peel off the leaves on the bottom and cut off the end. Then rinse your head to remove any dirt.
Sit your cauliflower head on the trivet, and then turn Instant Pot on high pressure, and make sure the valve is sealed. Cook 2 minutes with a quick release.
Carefully remove your whole cauliflower head, and place it on a baking pan.
Mix up your mayo, sour cream, garlic salt, paprika, and chili powder in a bowl. Use a pastry brush and spread over the pressure cooked cauliflower.
Place the whole cauliflower in the oven on broil, or return to the pressure cooker and use the air fryer setting on your duo crisp. Cook 3 minutes or so until the cauliflower is broiled a bit. If you broil you will want to watch it close as it takes just a minute or two.
Remove from oven or air fryer, and then sprinkle with cheese, fresh cilantro, and squeeze some fresh lime juice on top.
Slice your Elote cauliflower into wedges and serve up as the ultimate side dish recipe.
