I made tostadas again. This whole gluten/dairy-free thing might work out okay with awesome tostadas like this as a fallback.

Base: Spicy avocado/tomatillo mash, then spiced beef, cabbage, pico de gallo, and tomatillo salsa. Homemade tortillas I just crisped up with some oil in the oven on a tray.

I honestly think the crunch of the tostada makes you go I AM BEHAVING BADLY even though this is an incredibly healthy meal with just 2 tablespoons beef on each. #cooking #food

You had to go gluten free?

@TheJen I am going gluten and dairy free to see if it helps with some persistent health issues. Hard decision to make but I’m treating it like a challenge. I just need to find and learn the good recipes for about 5 things.

Already got pancakes and waffles sorted. Need a good “flour” tortilla, a bread, and a pasta recipe. And the time to do it, but I might have that sooner than later.

@snarkysteff Awesome! Sort of. For the tortillas, might I suggest cassava flour. Works pretty well. I will be paying particular attention to what you come up with now. :)

I was always so jealous of your bread before. Haha. But you're so much fun to watch when you're doing new things in the kitchen. :)

@TheJen sigh! I love that bread. Yeah, there is a woman who was on Australia Masterchef who was celiac and her stuff was incredible. She now has a book, but it’s only in Australia, except for Kindle, so I ordered the Kindle. Has a pasta and bread recipe I’m keen to try.

But flour tortillas, I was gonna try this recipe —

How do you do them with cassava flour?

Gluten Free on a Shoestring
@snarkysteff Gluten free shoestring is great. I have all her books. I would have to go dig up the recipe, I don't recall. I prefer corn tortillas, so don't make the cassava ones very much.
@TheJen I’ll give the recipe I shared a try. We have a flour blend made here that sounds similar to the one she recommends, so I’ll pick up that and give it a try. I’m gonna make em with lard though, because fuck coconut oil. It’s Mexico. Pfft.
@snarkysteff I always use lard in mine. They taste weird otherwise.
