Alane stays home in Cookeville, Tennessee for this recording of Cooking With My Friends. She invites over her friend Stephanie Zarling for Episode 3. Together they learn to make cassava flour tortillas. These tortillas are a perfect alternative if you are looking for a substitute to a traditional tortilla. They are gluten free and dairy free! You can easily turn BurgerFit burgers into tacos by breaking up the burger and putting it in a tortilla! These cassava flour tortillas pair perfectly with Alane’s southwest and four pepper BurgerFit burger.

“Stephanie is also a home chef with very similar taste to me! I learned about cassava flour through her and now I’m obsessed! This gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, dairy-free flour is amazing.” -Alane

Why eat Cassava Flour Tortillas?

Just because you have a food intolerance or are trying to avoid common food allergens doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy tortillas! Cassava flour is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, corn-free and is AIP friendly! That makes cassava flour a perfect addition to a kitchen where the eaters have some allergies or are trying to avoid certain foods. When made into tortillas, they have a very similar consistency to regular wheat tortillas. As amazing as these tortillas are, you want to eat them in moderation as they are high in carbohydrates.

How We Met

Oh man, I could go on for days about how amazing Stephanie is! I met Stephanie when she was working at a local restaurant that my husband and I eat lunch at often. She was always so friendly and took the time to remember our names and chat with us when we would come in. Eventually we hired her for our businesses, and she joined the BurgerFit team. She is working on getting her holistic health coaching certification (March 2020) so obviously loves cooking healthy and is also a singer and guitarist. She really can do it all! It didn’t take much convincing to have her on the show because she loves anytime she gets to be on stage 🙂

    This cassava tortilla recipe is definitely a win! Thank you for sharing Alane! I love how they turned out but for the next batch I’m going to twist the recipe a bit and use Cinnamon instead of garlic. I’m pretty excited!
