I couldnt find the pure garbazo flour locally, so I used Bobs Red Mill GF flour blend which is mostly chickpea flour instead. Fabulous tender due to the yogurt, I think, but sturdy enough to hold up to the filling. The filling was OK though bland. It lacked sufficient seasoning, so I tinkered to get the right North African zing. I doubled the garlic, added more salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and cumin. Then added between 14 to 12 tsp of coriander, cinnamon, ginger, and garlic powder. I also add the juice of a 14 of a large lime to balance the spice. With those adjustments, the filling was zesty without being too spicy, and was a huge, huge hit with my dinner guests. This is not a quick prep, so next time Ill save it for a weekend, or do the taco crepes in advance. But it is definitely a keeper.
