ingredients
- 2 Siete Grain Free Cassava Flour tortillas
- avocado oil
- salt, for sprinkling
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1 egg
- 1 cup water

Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.
Step 2
Place the two Grain Free Cassava Flour tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the tortillas with avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for about 10 mins until golden brown.
Step 4
Remove from oven and let it cool. Break the tortilla into large piece and add to a food processor. Pulse until fine (similar to the consistency of bread crumbs).
Step 5
In a small bowl add coconut flour, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika and mix.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, add 1 egg and ¼ cup water and whisk together.
Step 7
Prepare the tomatillos by removing the husks and slicing them into ½-inch slices.
Step 8
Coat them in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the tortilla crumbs.
Step 9
Add the avocado oil (enough for shallow frying) to a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Step 10
Once the oil reaches 375°F/190°C, add the tomatillos and cook both sides until golden.
Step 11
Remove from skillet and let sit on a cooling rack.
Step 12
Add more sea salt to taste if desired and enjoy warm!
