Tortillas Diet Details

I have been searching for a keto tortilla / chip for several months. Was at a bookstore drinking coffee on Sunday and found Martina Slajerova’s book “Keto: Slow Cooker & One-Pot Meals.” I bought this book on a whim because of the tortilla recipe. Found that someone had pinned this video on pinterest, and it looked simple. Yesterday, I tried it. It was amazing! It is obviously not going to have the texture of a flour tortilla. However, trying the keto diet seriously for about a month, trading the 27g of Carbs on a flour tortilla with the 9g of total carbs (2 net), has made me very happy. Thank you, Ms Slajerova, for taking the time to test and publish this recipe.

This is amazing. Thank you so so much for sharing this recipe. I might even feature it in a video. You have an incredible personality! A lot of fun to watch.

Sweet tortillas would taste alot like the sweet tamales that are made by Latin families all over Latin America. Chocolate, Strawberry, Pineapple, Apple, Raisin, Coconut, Guavayou name itit is already in a sweet tamale form.

Dr what about fresh corn does it need sprouting to be healthy. Y

Coming from a Mexican-American, raised by Mexican-Filipino cooks, favorites don’t exist. If they are home made, flour does win. They are actually like birthday foods. Hard to make, stupidly delicious when done correctly. Corn is a little more standard, especially for tacos. In our house we don’t fry them hard though.
I think the real thing people are missing, is that it’s cabbage not lettuce. You take shredded cabbage, salt it, and coat it with lemon juice. Regardless of the wrapping, this will improve the product.

I’ll be making those! The flavor that comes immediately to my mind is cumin. I love the flavor of cumin. And half cumin/half red chili. Or green chili/red chili/garlic. I have to stop. I have to get to the kitchen! Thanks. Love, love, love your videos.

Awesome video! I just bought the same tortilla press, so this video is AWESOME �� ������Thank You �� ����

Could add a low fat or not fat ranch or Caesar vegan dressing and add to spicy chili pepper flour and all some nutritional yeast for a type of cheesy nacho chip…god I’m hungry.

I am lazy and don’t have a press, so I get my baked, oil-free tostada shells at WinCo:P I will try this at some point to see how much better they are:)

Your title said corn and all I heard about were derivatives of corn. I had to give it a thumbs down.

I really don’t get all of this cultural appropriation stuff, if you come to germany and I teach you how to make Maultaschen or Leberkäse and you go back to the states and get rich on it than thats luck, hard work or even that you just tried and I didn’t and not that you appropriated my culture ��

I’d opt for this corn flour organic masa harina corn flour as it is not GMO. You don’t get as much for the money but it’s totally worth not messing up your gut flora.

Take a look at what corn used to look like 300 years ago and then look at what �� looks like today?

Hybrid corn is highly mucus forming and wreaks havoc on your intestines, causes bloating and inflammation. This is because it’s hybrid.
Eat what you want. It’s only info.

“Eat to live not live to eat.”

I really like that you take us along on your adventures! Thank you!

it’s not the same tortilla anymore https://www.infobae.com/america/mexico/2017/04/06/la-tortilla-mexicana-en-crisis-menos-nutritiva-y-con-menos-ventas/

Can’t trust corn anymore.  Almost all corn is GMO.  Loaded with pesticides.  Loaded with herbicides.  Also, it full of sugar.  I don’t eat corn at all.

I made these and all I Taste is eggs and coconut flour what Flavor did you get when you made them

As a gringo who spent a year working near Zihuatanejo I discovered that authentic corn tortillas made with care often hold up much better than their common U.S.-made counterparts. As you suggest in the video, I felt the mealy texture that I was familiar with detracted from tacos. However, fresh corn tortillas made by an expert can be rolled tightly and squeezed without cracking (perfect for bean dip), defying the logic of any store-bought corn tortilla. I discovered within 48 hours of my stay in Mexico that corn tortillas and flour tortillas both have ideal applications, much as you have alluded here. Great vid!

If you have a problem with the texture of tortillas, your tortillas are of bad quality, if they break like that they are either old or bad. Also we do have corn tortillas in the North of Mexico, and they are preferably used over flour tortillas for tacos, except in Sonora. Also I hate it when Americans refer to themselves as white or the West and everybody else as non-white… I dont know, not trying to be ass, it just very annoying to me.

I have tried store bought corn tortillas and I found them to be gross. Yeah, I am used to eating the store bought flour tortillas. Currently, I have been wfpb sos-free for almost three months. Do you think it is a good idea to try these? I am afraid I still won’t like them. Is there something I can add to this recipe to make them taste better? Then I will eventually take it out so they are wfpb sos-free. If you find this message, I appreciate any tips or suggestions you might have for us who haven’t been wfpb sos-free as long as others. thx:)

When the WEST started to manipulate corn and introduced pesticides to farmers ALMOST ALL FOODS found in the farm became DANGEROUS for consumption. Humans DIDN’T get sick from eating grains. Humans BECAME sick from ingesting pesticides and other toxic chemicals used to make plants resistant from insects and diseases.

As long as you don’t disrespect the culture with hate as the intent then I’m fine and dandy about people taking an interest in another culture even if they UNINTENTIONALLY do things wrong. The more the Marrier I like it when another race takes interest in my boring ass race. But, other than that lets get to the real issue people who eat tacos with a knife and fork must be persecuted.

I use a glass pie plate to press my tortillas. Works great! Also adding some black pepper to the tumeric greatly improves absorption, acording to Dr Greger. Just use one part pepper for each 4 parts tumeric.

Hey, another great video! Can you do a video on foods that are good for mental health next? TY!

IT’S POSSIBLE TO DO IT, WITHOUT ALMOND FLOUR? THANK YOU VERY MUCH

“Too may calories” Not actually a thing. Seriously, you can’t eat too many calories cause your body decides how much to process and absorb. You can eat too few, but too many is not a thing.

The breakfast tortilla, would be kinda similar to a tamale, of course with fruit tho. I have my tortilla press and I’m going to try making fresh corn tortillas.BTW great video

CORN TORTILLAS ARE HEALTHIER!:) Powdered lime stone is added to the kernels in big steel cooking vats. This then act as a preservative and softens the outer layers of the corn (pericarp, aleurone). When this happens, the STARCH is literally boiled out of the kernel which is removed before grinding them into dough. Cheers!

It’s not really cultural appropriation when you claim that Taco Bell is Mexican food, because it is clearly absurd. No Mexican restaurant would ever serve those cardboard disks that TB uses for their burritos. Also, why does it have to be either or? Why are there no mostly corn tortillas with enough wheat to make them more durable?

… it’s not cultural appropriation.
They KNEW he was trying to copy them and they HELPED him. That not stealing or appropriating. That called being given the keys to the car and taking the car.

Who benefits from people having high cholesterol? Big pharma! No one is dying from high cholesterol. All of a sudden our Dr. puts us on medication. I’ve seen the older generations live to old age and eat everything

I’m from Ventura County, really glad it was name dropped, Tortilla’s are used in wide variety here, and Just about every restaurant is incredibly delicious

I’m going try using casava flour….and also ripe plantains on our tortilla press.

I finally found that bell sound effect! I’ve been looking for it for so long, who knew I’d find it here ��

Man, I love this! I can NEVER find tortillas without oil. I’m going to Amazon and order a press. Can’t wait to try it. Thanx! Love your ideas.

I make my own sos granola instead of buying cereal. Maple syrup, peanut butter, oats, nuts, dried fruit, bake.

Why people are so afraid of carbohydrates. Just eat healthy in the whole day it wont harm you

You say that meat should be the stable but meat has cholesterol!!! And corn should be a side dish even though it get rid of the cholesterol!!! Ummmm somethings wrong in here:/

Totally untrue, the difference is that wheat has GLUTEN in it, that’s thee biggest weightgainer in the world. No grains is best, if you can do it, even corn is in grain department, but the single fact that gluten is removed, is HUGE…..I’ve eaten corn and corn tortillas for 10 years and still went from 170 lbs runner, to staying at 143 lbs………you need to eat something for fuel on long fast runs, and the tortilla is not bad, and corn based products are not horrible, certainly better than flour, no comparison……..knock out the gluten, big thing, then if you are super human and into an extremely boring life, then knock out all grains……….then there’s no discussion if you knock all them out, but boooooring

You are forgeting the “Nixtamal” process, which is basic in really Mexican made tortillas. But you’re right about the insulin levels.

You realize you literally didn’t address eating just actual corn like on the cob right. Seems you do this alot in your videos. I grew my own organic corn, I want to know if it’s good for me to eat boiled, on the cob. Don’t understand how you didn’t think it was necessary to talk about that?

Doctor,? Can you please shed some light on corn tortillas. I am Mexican and we it a lot of tortillas. Thank you doctor.

after a long search got a good recipe without eggs. will you pls post more recipes without eggs.
this recipe turned out to be very good thank you

Says the guy with skinny, sunken, atrophied neck muscles with loose skin and bad teeth. Corn tortillas are lower glycemic than he thinks they are. Plus they’re quite filling. This guy needs to fill out his skinny, weak birdneck by not eating like an anorexic moron.

These look amazing! I was trying to find a good Keto tortilla solution.

I’m liking corn on the cob…with butter, and fresh black pepper.

I am concerned about the safety of using plastic in food preparation.

This video has good advice, but I am confused about the best diet plan which i need to work with, only because I have never used any. Anybody tried the Fenoboci Diet Plan? I have heard many people talk about great things about Fenoboci Diet Plan.

This guy desperately needs to eat a steak, drink a beer and spend some time with the opposite sex.

This is good, thanks. I’ll buy a tortilla press eventually because it’s cost effective, like you said. Today and yeste3rday, I made tortilla chips from premade extra thin corn tortillas. I am trying to convince my Dad to go whole food plant based since he has heart disease and this diet clearly cures the problem. He also has atrial fibrillation, and there was a study of obese people in Australia who went on a diet to help with atrial fibrillation: it lowered the frequency by like 80% and the duration/severity by like 50%. This is very important.

My dad really enjoyed the chips! I got better at making them already.

My parents tend to think everything is ok just being on a statin, but there is still underlying heart disease. Dad also got a stent in the anterior descending artery after 80% blockage found. T his is clearly heart disease caused by the rich western diet.

The obstacles to change with my parents are pretty similar to many people, I bet: first, they appear resigned that it’s inevitable to have health problems while old. Second, they have the idea that diet couldn’t possibly change or cure the problem. Third, they enjoy their current food and cannot

However, Dad is somewhat open and will talk to the cardiologist about it. I will gather key information and make a presentation to my Dad, including highlighting Caldwell Esselstyn’s video stating ‘heart disease is nothing but a toothless paper tiger’. He’s a good speaker. My Dad is technical and scientific. The more he sees, the more interested he will get.

Thanks again!

I’m Mexican and in spite of my regular workouts and healthy lifestyle tortillas are the pain we just can’t shake off. Great video I will remember this. I should ask the wife not to buy the damn things.

Has anyone else seen this article: Maseca Flours Test Positive for Weedkiller and GMOs. What Should Consumers Do? The article gives alternatives. Dave Gauthier

Hey Man here in México the tiny corn burritos aré called tacos dorados or flautas ��

Stopped watching the moment the founder of Taco Bell became successful because of white privilege and not because he was a good businessman. As if he was some random white guy who had the keys to the Taco Bell empire bestowed upon him by some kindhearted Mexican-American who held some secret to making tacos that nobody else knew. “Some supernice Mexican-American cook showed a clueless white guy how to make their tacos.”……..or…….”A naive cook and phenomenally poor businessman shows another cook who happens to be his direct competitor how to chef up their dishes”

That’s why I’m glad I’m born Mexican cause I’m used to corn soft tacos

Ohhh yeah!
Great experiment! Thinking outside the box! And the crrrunch on those baked tortillas ��
I will definitely be trying these!
TFS ������

Do natural popular lose weight methods like Fenoboci Diet Plan really work and if so, how effective are they? We have noticed many awesome things about this popular fat burn methods.

I thought hard shell corn tortillas were originated with the Ortega taco company?

how long did the yellow staining on your fingers take to wear off? Tumeric actually stained my wok! Have you ever had Red Hot Blues from Garden of Eatin’? They are a snack I am actively trying to replace

cultural appropriation is a bullshit concept. nobody is stopped from sellling tacos (or geting rich from it) or cars or jeans or cellphones or lightbulbs etc.

Q: Why did you insert politics into a food video?
A: The corn vs flour tortilla dynamic is political whether I acknowledge it or not. Just read my comments every time I cook with flour tortillas. A lot of people view the flour tortilla as emblematic of diluted, commodified, Americanized Mexican food, and yes, as an emblem of cultural appropriation. I don’t think you come to my channel to hear my political opinions and I make an effort to not shove them in your face, but lots of food topics intersect directly with political ones, and I’m not going to pretend the political dimension doesn’t exist when it’s directly relevant to the food I’m talking about. And when I give you my own opinion, I make an effort to present you with an alternative opinion, or at least with enough information to empower you to come to a different conclusion than mine. I think I did that in this video (assuming you made it to the end), but if you want some more views that differ a bit from my own, read this piece by Gustavo Arellano (the guy in the video), who is generally skeptical about charges of appropriation: https://www.wweek.com/restaurants/2017/06/07/let-white-people-appropriate-mexican-food-mexicans-do-it-to-ourselves-all-the-time/

Q: Are cultures not supposed to exchange ideas? Don’t we get a lot of wonderful things that way?
A: I feel like a lot of people leaving comments like this didn’t make it to the latter part of the video where I tried to illuminate the difference between harmful cultural appropriation and benign (or mutually beneficial) cultural exchange. If you’re a member of a group that has hurt another group a lot and is currently dominant over that group, I think you should be particularly sensitive about how you adopt and use cultural items from that group. (Yes, the lines of membership around such groups are usually blurry, but they’re still real, and we still have to deal with them.) That doesn’t mean you don’t borrow. I’ve made several Latin American-inspired dishes on this channel, but I do things to avoid hurting people when I do it. I don’t presume to represent “authentic” versions of dishes. When I take an idea from a specific person, I credit them, and when they spend a lot of time helping me make the video, I pay them. When I do a video like this one that deals a lot with someone else’s culture, I make sure to seek out members of that culture and to let them speak for themselves, instead of presuming to speak for them. I think a lot of what people dismiss as “PC” or “SJW” is just being considerate of other people’s feelings, even if you don’t understand them.

Q: Hasn’t “cultural appropriation” been defined historically as any culture grabbing an idea from another culture — not necessarily a dominant culture grabbing an idea from an oppressed one?
A: Indeed, this is true. However, the term “cultural appropriation” has been undergoing a very common linguistic phenomenon known as “perjoration,” in which a word or term that was previously neutral acquires a negative connotation. This may be the result of changing social attitudes on the phenomenon being described, but the more likely explanation is that it simply represents a kind of abbreviation. A classic example would be the word “attitude.” It’s a neutral word, but if I say you have an attitude, you know I’m saying you have a shitty attitude. This evolution of the word doesn’t reflect any kind of evolving social norm — it’s simply a shortening. We used to say “bad attitude,” then we shortened it to “attitude.” A similar thing happened recently to the word “anal.” If I say, “You’re being so anal,” you know that I mean anal retentive, and not anal expulsive. Likewise, I think the evolution of the term “cultural appropriation” is simply a shortening — when most people use that term now, what we mean is the bad cultural appropriation.

I’m eating an actual corn (on the cob) and wondering why you’re holding up corn in packets. smh.

My entire (white)family is okay with wheat, but I just don’t like them for some reason, corn tortillas are just better to me(aside from them breaking all the time)

Damn….never eaten fresh tortillas before, so was lucky enough to find the exact same flour you use on eBay uk as well as the press, so wish me luck lol ����

Has no one ever figured out you can cook a corn tortilla in a pan with some oil and it wont be crumbly anymore?! In my opinion this it the only way to eat corn tortillas and I don’t understand why restaurants don’t do this! Instead they just double them up and they still fall apart. It also tastes better and solves all the texture problems. Why has no one talked about this

In San Diego I buy Mr. Rancho brand ( Berber in San Leandro ) soft taco sliders. Cut in half and place on a cookie sheet in toaster oven at 375F until stiff. Remove and sray lightly with high heat avo oil in a Mr.Misto bottle. Sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika ( Arab markets have best price ). Whole Foods also has their brand of soft tortillas.

I like that you can roll them out without using parchment paper and stack them too when raw without them sticking. I have a tiny kitchen so stacking them before cooking will save on space.

Love it. My only concern is the flaxmeal. I heard flaxseeds are estrogenic, which is the last thing I want. Could it be replaced?

I don’t know where to find that corn flour at a proper price. On Amazon, it’s 20 dollars, which I don’t think it’s supposed to cost that much money. How much do you pay for that bag?

But those of us on gluten-free diets (in my case by doctor’s orders) can’t eat flour tortillas.

Hi! Do you by any chance have an sos hummus recipe? Much thanks ��

Your so dam cute, honestly now. I could watch you all day long! I’m plant based now after 3yr of finding my way through a vegan lifestyle. I told my sister, I think I need to tweek my intake a little more and cut out the salt and sugars. I just found you the other day, and you’ve given me an incredible amount of ideas already. You eat and cook like me,simple and quick. Bow if I could only get my vitamix from my daughter!☺

This guy is better than he should be at what he is doing. Why am I watching videos I have no business watching and still enjoying them?

I’m now addicted to making these.. one batch I did with salsa instead of water. They were great

I became confused 2 and a half minutes in as he seemed to be implying corn tortillas can be difficult to appreciate for some people

Then again I grew up in Arizona and Mexican food is the most normal thing in the world to me

Thanks so much for what you do! Appreciate your efforts to educate others! What A REAL Doctor should be doing! & not just treat symptoms w/drugs! I’ve been able to go off several meds w/dietary changes! Food is natural medicine! Prevention is key!! Good health to all

Wait, so was anyone else gonna tell me that Dorito hardshell tacos was cultural appropriation? Or was I supposed to figure that out by thinking critically after being told knowing that Taco Bell isnt Mexican?

woke up early and viewed you making the tortilla with cilantro and garlic, onion powder. Made some for lunch but could not resist eating a couple from the oven…yummy

poppycock corn is the cure to what ails you corn, peanut butter, and oats are some of the best foods to eat for nutrishion

First time watching one of your videos, very turned off by the unnecessary politics. I don’t care what Mexicans do or don’t do with food from my culture and neither should Mexicans

2:30 Yeah, for me it’s olives. I’ve tried them before; my mother’s family grew up with them in Argentina.
I never could stand olives; just has a weird taste and texture that my body cannot tolerate. Ew.

Insulin is the monster. That’s sugar/carbs. Stick to real meats and vegetables.
Some Examples of Carbs: grains, breads, pastas, rice, tortillas, fruits.

Starch-based diet. Lots of fruits and vegetables. Mostly restrict processed foods and limit animal protein… That’s healthy… don’t get me wrong I eat meat, but only a few times a week and small portions when I do. The mind and body is meant to run on carbohydrates and when eaten without processed or added oil or animal fat your insulin level rises and falls very quickly. When incorporating oils and animal fats that are processed and not whole foods, insulin stays elevated longer and inflammation is more likely. Low carb is another term for starvation. Ketones are a byproduct of your body utilizing stored fat for energy. This is ok in the short term, but damaging long term. It creates too much stress on the system because the ketones are acidic. Blah blah….just be sensible. And let’s not forget the niacin rich yumminess of homemade tortillas!

Why does it have to be non-GMO and organic? Are you some kind of nature-freak? You gave no reason for it to be non-GMO organic.

Ever heard that cooking some foods boosts their nutritional value. Like tomatos, carrots, mushrooms, etc etc etc. Add corn to the list. Research nixtamalization related to corn tortillas.

I just found your channel today and I’m happy that I did. A lot of great info. Keep them coming.

Toasting corn tortillas does wonders to fix the mealiness and strength. There are some places around ATL that do that and you get a single tortilla per taco without issue.

I have a severe sugar addiction my intention is not to come here and contradict you, but tortillas don’t seem to trigger my sugar cravings at all, give’em a try, also a friend suffering diabetes said tortillas were prescribed to him since they don’t spike up his sugar level anyone want to debate this?

eating corn from a can while watching the video….still confused as ever

I love tortillas chips but haven’t been eating them lately because want to make myself and now you have made it so simple for me to see I can! Thanks so much!

No idea why I’m learning about the history of corn and flour tortillas, but this is a pretty good video.

Wow this is mukbang by a big American guy. Inspiring. Love your food.

Food isn’t a culture, it’s a part of culture, get over it, its FOOD. She said ‘good for him’ which is what you should do as well. That’s what a business of anything is, you take something and make it better.

ive just finished watching this vid and i really enjoyed it. i gotta say WOW CONGRATS to you Dillon for saving yourself a fortune! i dont know about America but in Australian supermarkets, flavoured or spiced flatbread/tortillas are very expensive! Even WORSEive never been able to find ANY brand over here, without bloody oil listed in the ingredients! (why??WHY??) so anyway, thats why i would love to copy you and make these! But um, what other names does masa go by please? cos im now checking websites and online supermarkets and so far theres no masaca to be found. Wahhh.
youve well and truly inspired me tho mate & IF i get my hands on some masa to make these, the first variety i wanna try is a mix of lemon zest with nooch! (gonna try em as thick chilli bean roll ups with cos lettuce shreds and a drizzle of your cheese sauce!) YUM!

I love your recipes!!  Especially your sauces.  I started last week and I have lost 4 pounds!  THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!  But, aren’t you worried about GMO’s???

3:36 these tiny tortillas are the cutest thing in the world.
(The statement brought to you by hyperbole)

I can also understand why you don’t like corn tortillas that much. those seem really yellow compared to what we eat here so they’re clearly different in which type of corn is used.

Also corn tortillas are always better fresh, that’s why here in Sinaloa we have tortillerías that make those every day a few blocks of any given home; so if you put them on the fridge or something to transport those then they would taste worse for sure.

Excellent advice…love your channel…just wanted to let you know that Maseca corn flour is made from GMO corn, which I have only recently became aware of…it also tested high for weedkiller…good news is, that there are organic non GMO varieties now available…this is one option I found on Amazon…Gold Mine Masa Harina…I am not affiliated with this company but try very hard to avoid GMO products…cancer survivor so just being careful…

Wow! Shout out to Bloomington Indiana. Laughing Planet is the bomb.

Mexicans like me dont give a fuck about tortillas TORTILLAS ARE TORTILLA

Yup, this was all covered in the Netflix thing, “Taco Chronicles.” Great series.

Maseca brand has tested positive ( 10/2018 as high as 95% ) for glyphosate and Roundup. The Mexican owned co. ( Gruma ) must be importing GMO corn from US et al. since it is banned in Mex. Bob’s Red Mill is so expensive you might as well just buy ready made non-GMO tortillas.

idea to add to the breakfast tortilla. strawberry AND spinach water but the water being a water/lime juice & zest mixture! THANKS for the inspiration!

adam: “serial crop”
the 6 year old writing the captions: “so i like cereal. thats what he said? ok. ‘cereal crop’

Fermented corn dough in African staple food known as BANKU…..ARE THEY HEALTHY?

do we really digest corn or peas? bc for me it comes out the look like it went in and a i did chew it, lol

Corn. It’s mostly a closeted vegetable.
It goes in and sometimes…… It comes Out.

Cultures take from other cultures all the time and it’s a good thing. American Cuisine is literally modifications and combinations of what all the immigrants brought from their old countries.

Dillon I enjoyed this episode so much I sought out to purchase some masa harina and a tortilla press. Look into safe corn products here https://www.organicconsumers.org/blog/maseca-flours-test-positive-weedkiller-and-gmos-what-should-consumers-do

not what I wanted to hear, but? good to know cause we, eat a lot of corn

I would try to add nutritional yeast and finely chopped jalapeno pepper:)

You may be right about some of the benefits of sprouted corn, but the options for non-GMO, organic varieties are out of reach economically for most. Its good information but not practical, especially if you have a family to feed. If you are worried about GMO, or non-organic varieties I suggest the following: 1) stop eating corn altogether, 2) find a local farmer that grows organic, non gmo corn or 3) learn to grow your own organic variety and sprout your own corn. Its easy to do just takes time. Anything worth while takes time, learn to do it your self.

OK I am absolutely loving your recipes I think the tumeric one would be really good with like an Aloo Gobi or any of the Indian food flavors

Schools in Texas started using a “whole wheat” tortilla. I don’t like them. The texture was odd, sort of like eating a taco wrapped in the Declaration of Independence.
