Hi. Thank you so much for your great recipes. Love that they are gluten free. I would love to see more stirfrys! Thsnks❤

I like to add more water to the dough to a consistency of pancake batter🥞. They come out a bit thinner, but of course, it's according to taste. I also like to add nutritional yeast seasoning, Tajin, or Himalayan salt for healthier torts. I like it when they fluff up.🌮

Thanks for sharing these tips! I guess that would be a bit more like a crepe-style wrap. I'll have to try it!

This was very helpful thank you! ❤

[@FrugalNutrition]

Yay! I'm so glad!

I have Anthony's Cassava flour. It is super fine, just like regular flour. Have you or anyone used this brand and can you tell me if it works as well as the one used in the video. Cassava flour is expensive and I don't want to waste it if it isn't going to work. Thanks.

[@FrugalNutrition]

Hm, good question. I'm sure that they will work to make tortillas, but it is possible that the ratios will be different. For example, I've used off-brands that required a lot more water than Otto's flour. If you're confident in experimenting with more or less water/oil/flour, I'm sure you can get it to work, but if you'd rather not risk it, then I might not use it for this recipe.

What coconut oil do you use? Is it MCT oil or melted regular coconut oil?

[@FrugalNutrition]

Yes regular coconut oil! MCT is extracted from coconut oil, but cannot be used in place of coconut oil because it is no longer solid at room temperature. (I'm sure there are exceptions to this like if you wanted to add fat to a smoothie or make fat balls!)

Is cassava flour the same as tapioca flour?

[@FrugalNutrition]

This is such a good question! They are not actually the same - at least not in most countries. Normally cassava flour is dried and ground cassava (the way it is used in many parts of Africa), while tapioca flour (which we usually call tapioca starch) is usually made from the starch extracted from the same cassava root (which is how it is usually made and used in Brazil and South America). So, typically, cassava = dried and ground, tapioca = extracted starch. They are not interchangeable in recipes. I will say that in Brazil, I think they may have multiple types of tapioca starch / tapioca flour, so you’d have to research the brand and types specifically if that’s where you are!

[@MariaMunoz-rz1nz]

@@FrugalNutrition thank you so much for your answer! Where I live is very hard to find cassava flour, it’s easier to get the tapioca flour. So I’m looking for recipes for the tapioca kind, any ideas?

Easiest recipe so far

[@FrugalNutrition]

So glad to hear that! I love these tortillas myself - and if you use Thrive or Otto's cassava flour it works perfectly every time!

ok but what are the grams? seriously working with "cups" does not work, it is not how we work in Europe

[@FrugalNutrition]

Hi! It sure is silly that we don't use grams or ounces in the US! But, realistically, my audience is from the US and the two brands of cassava flour this has been tested with are US-based brands. The weight can also vary based on the brand. I just Googled it for you though and here is what Google says: "A cup of cassava flour (285 grams)." I am definitely in the process of using weighted measurements for my recipes...but it is easier for some recipes than for others. 👍 Hopefully we'll get there!
