Hi, I wanted to keep this recipie for a raw book that I plan on publishing, but I have gotten so many requests for it, I am now making it available for your dining pleasure. :p

Corn Tortillias

3 1/2 cups of young coconut flesh
4 cups of corn, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup of agave nectar
dash of Pink Himmalyian salt
1 red onion minced fine in the food processor
1/8 cup of onion powder or to taste
1/8 cup of garlic powder or to taste
Optional 2 Tablespoons of nutrutional yeast. Adds a nice flavor and color.
1-2 cups H2O

Blend the young coconut flesh and frozen corn until mushy and smooth. Gradually add the water and blend until smooth and to make it a thin consistency that is spreadable without many lumps. I add agave nectar to bring out and intensify the corn flavor. Add salt to taste to resemble either tortillias (a lesser amount) (or corn chips, increase the amount slightly) Add the rest of the ingredients except onion. Fold in onion last. Spread thinly on the teflex sheets. Dehydrate about 4 hours or until you can peel and flip the tortillias over. Then dehydrate just a bit longer. Until dry, but not stiff. Makes 5 trays. Cut into wraps or round totillia strips. Serve with raw taco filling, guacamole, salsa, and raw spanish rice.

These keep very well and remain flexable stored in the refrigerator. I have had mine several months and they still taste fresh.

To make corn chips, add a little bit more salt and let it dry out a little bit longer until crisp. Break up into pieces and serve with salsa and guacamole. The chips keep well in tupperware and if become soft, can be made crisp again by placing in the dehydrator for about an hour or so.

The flavor can be varied by adding chipolte seasoning or cayenne. If you want BBQ chips add into the mix while blending BBQ seasonings.

I took this to a pot luck and everybody was shocked by how delicious, crisp, and the intense corn flavor in the chips.

Question: Does the coconut flesh make it taste coconutty?:p
It sounds great, but I don't think I could eat "corn" chips that taste like coconut.:( I'm always up for something new so I may give it a go.
Thanks for sharing
(don't you love the way I just think out loud).:rolleyes:

Young coconut flesh does not add any coconutty flavor. It just makes it flexable so you can use it like a tortilla. It totally tastes like a fresh corn tortillia. If you dehydrate it longer it turns into corn frito-like chips.

Try it you will love them.

I just got done making them again and they are incredible. They taste better than store bought tortillias.

The chips are out of this world. You have got to try them.

I made this over the weekend. The taste is so very good! Very addictive!
I did make mine too thick, so I will try again this weekend and make thinner.
Thanks so much for the recipe, it is delish!:)

Just add more water to make it thinner. That is the key to making them spread easier and thinner. They also dehydrate easier and quicker. They are the best wraps that I have ever had.

I am so glad you like them.

One coconut yielded about 1 cup. It's the first time I've used young coconuts so I'm not sure if that is the norm. It could have been a little more except I kept eating the coconut meat as I was cleaning it :D

I'm not real good at opening and cleaning coconuts yet. Do you think dried coconut would work? I can get it with no sugar or additives - just dried meat. I usually soak it before I do anything with it. Do you think that would work? If so, how much would I use?

I think dried coconut would taste too coconuty or strong flavored. It is also very fiborous. Has a completely different texture.

I have a giant hardened knife from Harbor Freight Tools, its their survival knife with survival matches and thread in the middle. (I didn't know and put it in the dishwasher and ruined the waterproof matches) Anyway, it works great for hacking open coconuts. It has just the right weight for little old not very strong me to open. The should have an on line catalog. I hope this helps.
