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!

What’s stone fruit, you may ask? It’s the kind of fruit that has a stone seed at the center—like peaches, mangos, plums, nectarines, and cherries! In this case, we used a plum, a peach, and a nectarine to add just the right amount of sweetness to our family’s classic pico de gallo recipe. We present to you: Stone Fruit Pico de Gallo!
