Pai’ai Tortillas

Must Try

Recently I got some pastured pork butt from the Sunday morning Farmers Market for the first time, and it made the most delicious Kalua Pig!

It was so tender and juicy– I could hardly believe how much better it tasted than pork from the grocery store.

After the pork was done cooking, I sliced up some cabbage, and cooked it in the meat juices—mmmm! It gets even better…then I put the kalua pig, cabbage, and some pico de gallo into a tortilla I made from pa’i’ai. BEST ever!!!!  Recipe courtesy of Lori Ikeda of Guava Rose.com.  Visit Lori’s site for more recipes!

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz.  pa’i'ai
  • 1 c. or more regular/gluten free, flour or all purpose baking mix (containing baking powder)
  • 1/2 c. or more water
  • 8 tsp. coconut or other oil

Instructions
 

  • Crumble pa’i’ai on a floured surface. Knead in flour and water until a smooth dough forms. Add small amounts of flour and water if necessary while kneading the dough to get a final dough that is not sticky.
  • Divide dough into 8 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball out 1/8” thick into 5" to 6" rounds.
  • Heat a skillet on medium high heat. Add ½ tsp. coconut oil and let melt. Place one tortilla on top, cook for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes. Lift tortilla up and place another ½ tsp. coconut oil into the pan before flipping the tortilla over to cook the other side. Cook another 2 to 2-1/2 minutes until the tortilla is cooked through. Adjust temperature up or down as needed during the cooking process. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Stack the tortillas as they are cooked, and keep them covered with a towel or another plate until ready to serve.
