I made enchiladas with shredded pork and almond flour tortillas and they were so good! The next morning I made huevos rancheros. The boyfriend said don’t mess with this recipe, that this one was perfect. I used Trader Joe’s Organic Chicken Stock as the liquid. It’s got just the right amount of heat.

Here’s a Paleo tortilla recipe that is easy and works well for those who are allergic to nuts or want grain free tortillas.

Seite brand makes great Almond flour tortillas if you don’t want to make your own. They also have a Cassava version, but they have a lot more carbs than the Almond ones.
