Directions
For the Strawberry Chia Jam:
- Add strawberries, vanilla, sea salt, water, and stevia in a food processor and pulse 4 times.
- Transfer mixture to a sauce pan and heat over a medium heat. Bring mix to a low boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in chia seeds. Cook the jam on low until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure you stir the jam so it doesn't sitck.
- Remove the jam from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Pour in a glass jar or air-tight container and store in the refrigerator. The jam will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
For the Tortilla:
- In a small mixing bowl, add chia seeds and warm water and mix for about 30-60 seconds, until the chia seeds become jelly.
- In a large mixing bowl add coconut, tapioca flour, vanilla bean, stevia, coconut milk, sea salt and coconut oil, and combine in the chia seeds mix. Mix until a dough forms. The batter should be somewhat like pancake batter consistency.
- Over a medium to low heat, heat up a non-stick pan and lightly grease with coconut oil and pour in 1/4 cup of the batter in the middle of the pan and use a spatula to form an even circle and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and serve on a plate.
- Top with 1 tbsp yogurt, 1 tbsp strawberry chia jam, 1/2 tsp cacao nibs, 1 tbsp gr8nola and 1 sliced fresh strawberry.
