Course Side Dish
Cuisine Mexican
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup coconut oil room temperature, NOT melted
- 1 cup hot water hottest tap water
Mix dry ingredients. Add coconut oil and use a pastry cutter to blend the flour mixture with the coconut oil.
Add the hot water all at once and mix until you have a shaggy dough.
Turn the dough out on your work surface and knead it together until all the dry bits are mixed in nicely. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or comal to about medium heat. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces (more or less for smaller or larger tortillas). Roll into little dough balls for use with a tortilla press (or roll them by hand with a rolling pin).
Place tortilla on the hot skillet, turning after about 30 seconds (cook time depends on the thickness of your tortillas). If they burn before cooking fully, lower the heat. Place cooked tortillas in a towel or tortilla warmer. Or just eat them.

Best Cranberry Sauce
This is, by far, the best cranberry sauce recipe ever. You'll never go back to canned.
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 12 minutes mins
Course Condiment
Cuisine American
3 Qt sauce pan
Wooden spoon
- 2 bags fresh cranberries
- 1/4 c sugar
- 1/4 c dark brown sugar
- 1/4 c orange or apple juice
- 1 can mandarin oranges, drained
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
In a 3-quart saucepan over high heat, bring all ingredients to a boil. Lower heat to maintain a simmer until the cranberries are tender. Use the backside of a wooden spoon to pop stubborn cranberries. Serve warm or cold.This cranberry sauce is, of course, the perfect accompaniment to the traditional American Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey dinner. But it's equally as delicious on ice cream, as the jam in a PB&J sandwich, on sourdough toast with cream cheese, in apple pie filling, and on a spoon.NOTE: if you like your cranberry sauce a little sweeter, use a bit more sugar. Feel free to add more mandarin oranges or cinnamon to suite your tastes. If you don't have apple or orange juice, use the mandarin orange juice from the can. If you don't have both kinds of sugar, just use what you have. This recipe is NOT fastidious.

Wow! This recipe will knock your socks off! I try not to eat everything we serve in the store on Saturdays or else I’d be as big as a horse. I was actually able to hold off on this gem for two days before I tasted a bit (thank goodness for left-overs). Man, what a treat. It was so good I was thankful there was only one little tiny 2×2 inch square–I could have eaten an entire pan full!
The slight crunchiness of the streusel layer, the brightness of the apples (a bit tart and not over-sweet), the cheesecake-like layer–all of this combined into a single dessert well worth every calorie-filled bite! Seriously…make this today!

Did you attend the Knife Event? Did you get to sample a turkey slider? Did you try the sauce? Tell us below!
