Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with the coconut milk. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens up into a gel-like consistency.
- While the chia seed mixture thickens, warm the coconut flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.
- Spread a generous layer of the chia seed mixture onto each warmed tortilla, ensuring even coverage.
- Top with sliced banana and strawberries, followed by a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added texture.
- Drizzle honey over the fruits for a touch of sweetness.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito shape.
- Serve the burritos immediately, and enjoy the tropical goodness!
Tips
- For a different flavor, try adding a scoop of nut butter or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the chia seed mixture.
- You can also substitute other fruits like mango or blueberries based on your preference and seasonal availability.
