I was born and raised in Texas. I love Mexican food, as do most of us Texans. In spite of my clean eating lifestyle, if you know me at all, you know that chips and salsa are my favorite food group. Yes, I just gave chips and salsa their own piece of the puzzle on the food pyramid!
When Mo and I first started dating, we would go have Mexican food at any of the local spots AT LEAST twice a week! I'm telling you - I can't get enough! But then one evening we were making plans for dinner and talked about going out for Mexican and both looked at each other and agreed that we just didn't want to feel the way we feel after eating it. That's when I started making my version of Tex-Mex dishes at home.
Check out my Primal Chicken Verde Enchiladas -- I used these tortillas for that recipe and it turned out SO good and none of the swollen fingers or tired feeling, inflammation, etc. from that Tex-Mex dinner, like we would normally experience when eating at any of our favorite Mexican restaurants!
These tortillas are a very basic recipe and great to keep in your back pocket as a go-to -- super easy to make, entirely gluten and grain free and make the best Paleo substitute for flour or corn tortillas in any recipe that calls for them! Anytime I make them, I make a double-batch to keep some in the fridge through the week for afternoon snacks - roll one or two up and dip into guacamole or roll up with a piece of roasted chicken, etc. They are also great to use for Breakfast Tacos!
You'll feel a little like you're making pancakes instead of tortillas, but trust me - they're an awesome Paleo alternative for tortillas!
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours and salt.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until no lumps remain. The mixture should resemble pancake batter.
Place a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, using a ladle, create a 4-inch tortilla (I usually cook two at a time). Cook for 1 minute per side, until slightly browned. Place the tortillas on top of a piece of foil and repeat until you’ve used up all the batter.
Cover in foil and place in the fridge for later use or use immediately for enchiladas, tacos, etc.
NOTE: If you want the tortillas to be a bit firmer – preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Place the tortillas in a singe layer on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet after cooked in the pan. Once all tortillas are cooked, place into the oven for approx. 7 minutes until they crisp up slightly.
