Description

The best homemade Gluten-Free Tortillas! This easy 5-ingredient recipe creates unbelievably soft, flexible, and pliable tortillas that are perfect for tacos, wraps, and quesadillas. No more stiff or crumbly store-bought tortillas!


Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum

1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cups very warm water

2 tablespoons vegetable oil


Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. Stir in the warm water and vegetable oil until a shaggy dough forms.

3. Using your hands, knead the dough in the bowl until it comes together into a smooth ball.

4. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Keep them covered with a towel.

5. Pre-heat a greased cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

6. On a piece of parchment paper, flatten a dough ball. Place another piece of parchment on top and roll into a thin, 7-inch circle.

7. Carefully place the tortilla in the hot pan and cook for 30-60 seconds per side, until lightly browned with a few bubbles.

8. Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate and cover with a towel to keep them warm and steamy.

9. Once cool, store in a plastic storage bag in the refrigerator.

Notes

Use a Good Flour Blend: This recipe works best with a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour like Better Batter.

Don’t Overcook: The key to soft tortillas is a very quick cook time. If they become stiff, they were cooked for too long or on too high of heat.

Storage & Reheating: Refrigerate leftovers. To reheat, use a warm pan or microwave between two damp paper towels for 15-20 seconds.
