with alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I wanted a tortilla or wrap that fit the guidelines of the challenge so off to the interwebs I went. \u00a0All the recipes I found didn&#8217;t really appeal to me for two reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Either they used a ridiculous amount of eggs (I&#8217;m talking like 18 eggs for one batch) and\/or the recipe only resulted in like 6 tortillas.<\/p>\n<p>If you think I&#8217;m using close to 2 dozen eggs to make 6 wraps, you have lost your damn mind.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to take matter into my own hands and create my own tortillas. \u00a0One that would use an acceptable amount of eggs and also made more than 1\/2 dozen wraps.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Andrea&#8217;s Grain Free Tortillas<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1C Almond Meal<\/li>\n<li>1\/2C Coconut

to make. \u00a0But you&#8217;ll be left with a big batch of tortillas that work great as wraps, or for things like enchiladas, or even crepes. \u00a0They also freeze and reheat well.<\/p>\n<p>A nonstick skillet is key, I would not recommend cooking these with stainless steel. \u00a0If you have a very well seasoned cast iron, you could probably use that.<\/p>\n<p>You need to use as little fat as possible per tortilla. \u00a0I was able to get thinner and larger tortillas but making sure the fat in the pan was minimal. \u00a0The picture above, the tortillas on the right are noticeably larger than the ones on the left. \u00a0The ones on the right were cooked with barely any fat in the skillet where the ones on the left were cooked with a teaspoon of fat. \u00a0This is why a nonstick skillet is key because it makes it easier to make these wraps.<\/p>\n<p>Coconut flour tastes sweet and has a vanilla flavor to it. \u00a0If you are going to use these for a Mexican inspired dish, some lime zest and a squeeze of some lime juice would go nicely. \u00a0I would also recommend using lard for cooking, it will provide a more savory flavor.<\/p>\n<p><a
