Ingredients

Grain-free Tortillas

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp. coconut oil for the frying pan

Taco

  • 1 lb. ground venison
  • 1 batch of homemade taco seasoning (approx. 2-3 T. taco seasoning)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp. coconut oil

Instructions

Grain-free Tortillas

  • Melt a 1/4 tsp. of the coconut oil in a 12" cast iron skillet over medium heat. The frying pan need to be steaming when you cook the tortillas.
  • Combine the melted coconut oil, cassava flour, tapioca flour, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add a 1/2 cup of the water and stir. Continue adding the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a ball but is not too sticky.
  • Roll the dough into a ball and place it on some some parchment paper. Flatten the ball slightly and use a pizza cutter to cut the dough ball into eight pieces (cut it like a pie). Pat out each dough piece on some parchment paper until it is very thin.
  • At this point you can either pat out each dough piece on some parchment paper until it is a very thin circle or shape each dough piece into a ball and flatten them using a tortilla press. Either way, the tortillas should be no more than 1/8th of an inch thick.
  • Gently flop each tortilla, one at a time, in the frying pan. Fry for 2 minutes on each side. You may need to add a little bit more coconut oil as you fry each tortilla.
  • Once fried, place each tortilla on a plate and cover with a towel to serve the tortillas warm. Alternatively you can cool the tortillas on a cooling rack and then just reheat them before you go to serve them.

Taco Meat

  • Melt the 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a 12" cast iron skillet over low heat.
  • Place the ground venison in the frying pan and cook until there is no pink showing. Use a stainless steel spatula to break up the meat while it cooks. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat and stir it in.
  • Add the water and stir. Let the taco simmer for 3-4 minutes until it has reach the desired consistency. Scoop into a serving dish and serve with the tortillas and toppings of your choice!
