Taco-test #1 of the 'oat tortilla' experiment:
-
If you hadn’t posted the second picture… I would’ve bet money what you were calling a “tortilla” as not a solid and structurally closer to refried beans.
Fuck dude, I wish…
Okay, let me tell you a little story:Back in the day, I used to make pizza from scratch. Even with many, many tries, it really was a SUPER challenge to get it right. So many steps to learning, you know? Later, one time there was this new-ish GF of mine who absolutely was jonesing fresh pizza, but… we were living in a sort of ‘commune’ at the time. But she wanted pizza, dangit!
So I… friggen’ moved heaven & the holy netherworld to make something decent for her, and she tasted it and said: “this is GREAT!”
Foof, I’m a middle-aged man, now… I just don’t have that prove-it energy, anymore, daggit…
-
Absolutely agree, right up until I tasted it…
Mah dude-- oat tacos absolutely ROCK.Bigger problem for me is in trying to make them without getting absolutely exhausted…
First time I’m hearing about them, but what was your draw?
Corn works pretty great for Crispy Tacos

https://piefed.social/c/cooking/p/1453727/making-simple-oat-wraps-from-scratch-recipe-and-notesHomemade oat-tortillas formed in to tacos, then air-fried a bit to firm and crisp-up ‘em up. Absolutely delicious, but also proved to be one of Hercules’ fabled labors in order to get 'em right.
FILLINGS:
- smoky kidney-bean stew, slow-simmered
- fresh sriracha
- sliced green cabbage as the base
TASTE:
Absolutely crispy, crunchy loverly, but this is just WAY too much work, mon’!KEY CONCLUSIONS:
- Absolutely, positively, DO NOT delude yourself that a general-mesh sifter is enough to sift your oat-flour. No-- you’ll absolutely need a fine-flour sifter in order to even begin a proper trial of this approach.
- More to say in future, probably upsetting the wide-world of bread & pasta lovers, but…
It looks like you put poopie in it

This looks exactly like a Staffordshire Oatcake! I grew up eating these. They’re usually eaten with cheese or bacon, or as part of a breakfast.

Ooer, those look great. And looks like the wheat flour and yeast help keep them fluffy.
The problem with this first experiment is that the oat flour turned out too dense, making it impossible for them to rise up properly in the pan. Lesson learned…

Sriracha is not taco either, it’s Thai.

That one I can kinda forgive, it holds up better and the slight lemony acidic flavor compared to lettuce is better

At least it’s a hot sauce.

I deeply, humongously pity the feel the fool that doesn’t know the absolute magic of steel-cut oats.
Holy hell… really?
