If you're looking for a gluten-free, grain-free, utterly delicious and easy tortilla recipe, look no further. Made with just four simple ingredients, the're soft and perfect for wrapping around your favourite taco fillings.

For this recipe, I paired them with with a herby lamb steak, crisp carrot, cucumber, and red cabbage slaw, creamy guacamole, a dollop of coconut yogurt and sprinkle of fresh mint.

Ingredients (per 1 portion):

For the tortillas:

  • 100g cassava flour

  • 2 tbsp coconut yogurt

  • drizzle of olive oil

  • pinch of salt

For the lamb steak:

  • 1 lamb steak

  • drizzle of olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic - minced

  • 1 sprig/tsp fresh rosemary

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme

For the slaw:

  • 1/2 carrot - julienned or grated

  • 1/4 red cabbage - finely sliced or shredded

  • 1/4 cucumber - smashed and chopped

  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • squeeze of lemon juice

Guacamole:

  • 1 avocado - mashed

  • pinch of salt to taste

  • 1/2 shallot or red onion - diced

  • juice of 1 lime

Toppings:

  • 1 tbsp coconut yogurt

  • fresh mint leaves

Method:

First, marinate the lamb:

  • To the lamb, add garlic, thyme, rosemary and olive oil and evenly coat.

While the lamb Is marinating, make the salad so it can soak in the dressing!

  • Add the carrot, cabbage, cucumber, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice into a bowl; mix well.

Next, guac!

  • Mash the avocado and add the diced onion, lime juice and salt to a bowl; mix well.

Now cook the Lamb Steak so it has time to rest:

  • Heat a pan over medium heat, sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare (Depending on the thickness of your steak).

  • Remove from the pan and set aside to rest while you make the tortillas

Finally - the tortillas!

  • In a bowl, mix the cassava flour, coconut yogurt, olive oil and salt until combined. The dough should be very thick - don't worry if it's crumbly, it will all come together. (if not, add more yogurt or flour)

  • Generously flour a surface and separate the dough into 3 balls, flatten with your fingers until they form tortilla shapes. The dough is pretty resilient so keep going until they're as thin as you'd like.

  • Ensure both sides have a dusting of flour.

  • Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat and dry fry the tortillas for 1-2 minutes per side or until they have some colour.


Assemble your tortillas and enjoy!
