I find mashed cauliflower a pain to make as well! I rarely make it at home, maybe only a couple times a year. My usual dinner side dishes are green beans with almonds, broccoli florets, and baby brussles sprouts (each from frozen - I don't cook or shop often enough to buy fresh veggies!). I often actually don't bother with sides at all.
If you want to continue with the tortillas or bread, I would suggest adding fat and protein to them instead of just cinnamon and Truvia - fat will help to slow the absorption of the carbs and smoothe out any potential glucose/insulin spikes. When I havethings like fruit, even just berries, I always try to have something fatty with it - full-fat Greek yogurt, cream, nuts or nut butter, cheese, etc.
I can't say I've gotten into any ruts, as I find lots of variety in low-carb eating. Tonight, we had organic chicken burger patties topped with provolone and avocado dipped in a mixture of mayo and bbq sauce - YUM. Like anyone else, I have some favorites that I eat frequently (right now, it's full-fat Fage yogurt with this "superfruit" spread stuff mixed in), but not the same stuff all the time.
