This traditional Mexican dish is made with grain-free tortillas so you can celebrate Cinco de Mayo without the bloat. We’re also sharing some of our go-to product picks to help you swap out common staples if you’re unsure where to start.
Force of Nature’s Grass-Fed Beef Ancestral Blend is one of our favorites—not only is it sourced from regenerative farms, but it also includes beef liver and beef heart for a powerful nutritional boost from organ meats.
Cassava flour makes a great grain-free alternative to cornstarch for thickening soups and sauces, and can often be used as a 1:1 replacement for regular flour in baking. Since cassava is a root vegetable, it’s naturally gluten-free and grain-free, though it does contain more starch than nut-based flours.
Because cassava tortillas are more delicate than traditional corn or flour tortillas, we recommend using pre-made versions to keep this recipe simple. Our top picks are Coyotas—with just four ingredients: cassava, water, coconut oil, and salt—and Siete. These tortillas freeze well, so if you ever see them on sale, it’s worth stocking up!
