A tweaked recipe -
2 eggs
1/4 plus 2 tbls of water
1 tsp of lime juice
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of onion powder/ garlic powder
1 tsp of chili powder
2 tbls of coconut flour
Beat your eggs in with the water and lime juice, then add your dry ingredients and whisk together good.
Take a small non stick pan and add a little butter or olive oil and then pour in about 1/4 cup of batter and move your pan around so the batter coats the whole bottom, let your batter sit for about a minute and then put a lid over the pan and let the tortilla cook for another 2 minutes and then uncover and flip. This makes about 4 tortillas

Chocolate bars and bites
I remember when I first started low carb, I searched the net for low carb candy bars as they are my weakness and I wanted one I could take to the movies that wouldn't melt on me. I order chocoperfection but for the price I was not impressed at all. I found a recipe for a "candy bar', on one of my favorite blogs, "sugarfreelowcarbrecipes.com". So this is a tweaked recipe from hers, only cuz I like mine sweeter and I can't do stevia, it gives me a bad migraine, check out her blog though, she is a genius in the kitchen.
5 ounces of unsweetened chocolate -(I use the bakers cuz trader Joes doesn't sell my chocolate anymore)
a little over an ounce of cacao butter (I bought mine from Raw power on ebay, but you can get it from amazon or even whole foods)
A little over a Tbls of powdered whole milk
A little of a Tbls of powdered erythritol
20 packets of splenda
1/2 tsp of vanilla
2 tbls of natural peanut butter or whatever flavoring you want
_______________________________________
So with a Wilton Chocolate melter that I got at Walmart, I added the cacao butter first and let it melt and then added the chocolate and let it melt, once melted, I added the whole milk and the sweeteners, once everything is melted good, I add the peanut butter until its smooth and then turn off the melter and added the vanilla. Then pour into your candy molds. I had found some heart candy molds at Michael's craft store only cuz I couldn't find a candy bar molds, then I found some small ones on ebay. So the reason my recipe says "a little" over of some of the stuff is because I made more than the recipe she made. Mine filled the four little candy bar molds and 8 of the deep heart molds. These candies can be taken anywhere - like the movies!
