Tacos: The "Sex With Your Pants On" Version

I took the "sex on the pants on" language from the Whole 30 diet.  Whole 30 is based on the premise that we should only clean foods for at least 30 days as a way to cleanse themselves from inflammatory food.  Some people do this for 60 or 90 days.  The creator of the Whole 30 diet talks about how we should not consume foods that appear similar to inflammatory foods (i.e. paleo chocolate chip cookies, cauliflower crust pizza, yada yada).

BUT I must dispute... there is this amazing tortilla recipe that replaces corn.  I love corn.  Heck, I grew up in Colorado, meaning I ate Mexican food a LOT.  And don't get me started on polenta.  But unfortunately, corn is inflammatory for me as I learned a few years ago after my cancer treatments.  I came across this recipe from Dr. Axe a few years ago.  I have been hooked  since then and making them on a regular basis.  I do use yellow squash instead of zucchini which works quite well.  I tell you... those tortillas are so orgasmic (pun intended!).    I have yet to meet any guest of mine who does not go "ohh ahhh!!!" after eating them.

I use a 1/4-cup measuring cup instead of an ice cream scoop to flatten them.  I usually make just what I need for a meal and keep the batter in refrigerator.  I also discovered that the batter freezes quite well.  I use those tortillas for many things.  Those tortillas are delicious with everything but here's a list of my favorite tacos:
  • Egg/avocado
  • Beet, mushroom, scallion mix with yogurt-feta dressing
  • Salmon with mango salsa
  • Crispy chicken tacos
By all means, please try this recipe in your kitchen in the near future and let me know how it turns out for you! :-)
