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!
Lay first tortilla in the center of pan, brush with melted butter and layer with nut mixture
Butter remaining tortillas (both sides) and place on top of each other, layering each with nut mixture until you have used up all your filling and tortillas
Use a sharp knife to pre-cut into triangles
Bake for 35 minutes
While baking, prepare syrup: Warm sugar
water and honey/agave over medium heat until sugar dissolves
Add lemon rind, juice, cinnamon bark and whole cloves
Bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes
Strain and cool down to thicken
Remove baklava from oven and spoon syrup on top
Let sit for at least an hour, then serve and enjoy!
This Grilled Acorn Squash isn’t like any other grilled acorn squash, it’s a Grilled Acorn Squash preparado. To some, “preparado” might just mean simple toppings, but to us, it means the flavors of lime, chili powder, dairy free yogurt, and homemade vegan cheese! So grab a plate, and enjoy the taste of comida preparada!
They say, “When you meet the one, you’ll know.” It’s like the moment French Fry laid eyes on and Ketchup in her best red dress, and when Salt saw Pepper and suddenly needed a glass of water. Or, when this dairy free French Onion Dip met our Kettle Cooked Sea Salt Potato Chips. That’s quite the story, but we’ll just say this: We’re not quite sure why the universe made them all such great pairings, but we’re glad they did!
