When life hands you Almond Flour Tortillas, make baklava!--which is exactly what Jamie (our very own Siete Telenovela star) did. Growing up in the Rio Grande Valley, Jamie knows a thing or two about living The Hyphen. The Hyphen is the symbolic expression of our culture, being “not fully one thing or the other, [but being] its own identity.” As a Mexican-Lebanese American, Jamie experienced the in-between by gathering with her familia to make this scrumptious fusion-food dessert. Check out Jamie's inclusive take on a traditional Lebanese family recipe below using our Grain Free Almond Flour Tortillas!

We know that leaving crust on or off PB&J sandwiches as children was a make-or-break situation. These days, we have a whole new appreciation for crust! Especially now that we’ve explored the many ways our Grain Free Tortillas can be substituted in place of crust. We often like to bake our tortillas into some of our favorite recipes as crust for pies, quiches, and tarts. Other nights, we keep things simple (and flat) and use our tortillas as pizza crust!⁠
