"The store-bought gluten free tortilla shells are flavourless and fall apart so easily. I decided I had to come up with a tasty recipe for a pliable gluten free tortilla shell. I have been working on this recipe for a bit now and I am finally pleased at how this turned out. You can use coconut oil instead of the bacon fat if you like but the flavour is much nicer with the bacon fat. Make sure you handle the shell gently when flipping it over into the pan or it will crack."
