Tapioca Recheada - Brazilian tapioca crepe

Tapioca Recheada is a traditional Brazilian crepe made from hydrated tapioca flour (goma de tapioca), which is spread onto a hot pan where the starch granules bond together to form a thin sheet. It is then filled with various fillings: cheese, ham, coconut, condensed milk, or chocolate.
