Tacos are serious business in Southern California, and it goes without saying, you can’t really have a taco without a tortilla. You could substitute a hearty green leaf like a sultry collard or crisp chard, but I would consider that a wrap more than a taco. Details aside, a tortilla needs to be light, fluffy and pliable. Traditionally composed of masa harina, salt and water, this adapted recipe bends the rules relying on almond & coconut flours for taste, xanthan gum for pliability, and the power duo of baking powder & apple cider vinegar to achieve that fluffy texture. Best served loaded with Crispy Citrus Chicken or Spice-Rubbed Salmon, topped with Red Onion & Green Pepper Slaw, and plenty of avocado. Welcome to SoCal.
