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!
The fun of making these Loaded Chocolate Churros lies in—aside from the obviously delicious chocolate + churro combo—the toppings! We used a variety of dried fruits and nuts to top ours, but feel free to top these with everything your heart desires. Chip chip, churr’ay!
There’s nothing that can’t be made a little bit better by a hearty casserole. How do we know? Because we’ve seen it in all the movies! We’ve made this Fuego Rice Casserole using our Grain Free Tortilla Chips for a kick of heritage-inspired flavor.
The dips table at our family carne asadas is an array of different flavors! From guacamole and pico de gallo to queso and salsa, we’ve got something for everyone. One dip we especially like to make is this Cilantro Spinach Artichoke Dip. We think you’ll like it too!
