Soft Corn Tortillas

Tonight I had fun making corn tortillas, from scratch. Yes, it was a bit of work but they were a treat. Great for a special night. I followed the recipe from the book Raw Food Real World. You can, however, download an e-book Mexican Style by Russell James and get the recipe from there.The tortillas were made mostly from fresh corn (or frozen) with some fresh herbs and seasoning mixed through then dehydrated. The filling included refried "beans" made from sunflower seeds. I was surprised at how much they resembled the real thing and tasted just as good.
The guacamole was simple and made mostly from avocado and corn with fresh herbs and spices.
They were finished off with a sprinkling of tomato and lime salsa and a dollop of raw sour "cream" made from coconut meat and cashews. A very different experience from it's cooked counterpart but the flavours were fresh and strong and once again I'm left feeling full and satisfied with no bloating or heaviness.
