Tacos de Almendra

Tacos de Almendra are a delightful Mexican snack featuring almond flour tortillas filled with a savory blend of vegetables and spices. This dairy-free dish is both nutritious and satisfying, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 150 grams
• Tapioca starch - 50 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Zucchini - 1 small, diced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, juiced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, salt, and olive oil. Gradually add warm water and mix until a soft dough forms.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball between two sheets of parchment paper to form thin tortillas.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the diced onion and garlic until translucent.
5. Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, along with cumin and chili powder. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
6. Remove from heat, stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice, and mix well.
7. To assemble, place a generous spoonful of the vegetable mixture on each tortilla, fold and serve warm.
