Gluten-free tortillas are a delicious and versatile alternative to traditional wheat tortillas. They are a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, as well as for those who simply want to reduce their gluten intake. Made with a variety of gluten-free flours, such as almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour, gluten-free tortillas are just as soft and pliable as their wheat counterparts. They can be used to make tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and other Mexican-inspired dishes. With the right recipe and a few simple ingredients, you can easily make your own gluten-free tortillas at home.

GLUTEN FREE TORTILLAS



Gluten Free Tortillas image

My sons really miss flour tortillas since we have gone gluten-free. So I have tinkered with a bunch of wheat flour tortilla recipes to create one that fits our new diet. These aren't your traditional thin tortillas (basically because I press them by hand) but a nice thick and more chewy-style that reminds me of flat bread.

FLOUR TORTILLAS, GLUTEN FREE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Flour Tortillas, Gluten Free Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Robin_h

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups (280 g) All Purpose Gluten-Free flour mix (Use your favorite gluten free mix. My mix is in my collection.
1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1 tablespoon pieces
3/4 cup (156 ml) warmish water (about 90 degrees F/ 32 degrees C)
tapioca flour for rolling

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, place the flour, salt, and baking powder. Pulse a few times to mix. If you do not have a food processor, a stand mixer can be used with the wire whisk attachment to mix the ingredients. Add the butter pieces. Pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand. Add the warm water and turn on processor until a dough ball forms. The dough should be soft and pillowy. Once again, a stand mixer with a wire whisk attachment can be used to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. I recommend that the butter be cut in 1/4 tablespoon pieces to facilitate mixing. When the water is added, I recommend that a dough hook attachment be used to perform the mixing, Turn out dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. This rest period will help to distribute the water throughout the dough. If you don't plan on using the dough that day, you can refrigerate the wrapped dough. But will need to bring it to cool room temperature before you roll and make the tortillas. Please note that if the dough is too warm, it will be hard to roll and it will be too floppy to move to the pan. It's best when it's on the cooler side of room temperature. When you are ready to make the tortillas, roll your dough into 9 equal balls of about 1/4 cup/65 grams each. Cover the balls with plastic wrap while you preheat your pan. The tortillas need to be cooked in a pan that can be heated to a high temperature. I use a heavy steel non-stick griddle for this. Place pan on medium high heat and let preheat well-for about 5 minutes. If you have a tortilla press, now is the time to use it. Dust the press with tapioca flour (top and bottom). In addition, dust rolling surface with tapioca flour. Place the first dough ball in the middle of the press and firmly press. Open the press. Most likely the disk (which should be about 5 inches/13 cm in diameter) will stick to the upper part of the press (as it does for me). Carefully remove the dough disk and place it on the floured rolling surface. Sprinkle the surface of the dough disk with tapioca flour. If you don't have a tortilla press, proceed to the next step. With a rolling pin give the dough disk (or dough ball if you didn't use a tortilla press) a roll. Give the disk a quarter turn and roll it again. Repeat this process until you have a disk that is roughly 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. Don't roll these any thinner. If the dough gets too thin it will be almost impossible to transfer from the rolling surface to the pan. If the ragged edges bother you, you can cut them off at this stage with a sharp knife. With a large turner, carefully transfer the dough disk to the heated pan. It might take you a few tries before you are able to transfer the dough disk without it breaking. If your kitchen is hot, the dough might get too warm and might get floppy and be harder to roll and to transfer. If this happens, put dough into the fridge to cool down and firm up. Cook for about 60 seconds-until the surface of the tortilla is covered with puffed up bubbles. Flip and cook on the other side for another 60ish seconds. Both sides should have brown rings where the bubbles have formed. Flip the tortilla onto a dinner plate hot side up. You will now repeat the process with each dough ball. Flip each successive tortilla hot side up onto the tortilla stack. By the end of the process, you will have 9 tortillas. Cover warm tortillas with a towel to keep warm and serve. Tortillas are best fresh-they will be pliable and should roll around a filling fairly easily. Cool completely and then store in an airtight container at room temperature (not in the fridge) for up to 5 day. For longer storage, freeze. To refresh, microwave for a few seconds before use.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour blend: Not all gluten-free flour blends are created equal. Some are better suited for tortillas than others. Look for a blend that is high in starch and low in protein. This will help to create a tortilla that is tender and pliable.
  • Use a tortilla press: A tortilla press is a great tool for making gluten-free tortillas. It helps to evenly press the dough into a thin, round shape. If you don't have a tortilla press, you can use a rolling pin.
  • Cook the tortillas on a hot griddle: A hot griddle is essential for cooking gluten-free tortillas. This will help to create a tortilla that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Don't overcook the tortillas: Gluten-free tortillas can easily be overcooked. Keep an eye on them while they are cooking and remove them from the griddle as soon as they are cooked through.
  • Serve the tortillas warm: Gluten-free tortillas are best served warm. You can wrap them in a damp towel to keep them warm until you are ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Making gluten-free tortillas can be a bit challenging, but it is definitely possible. By following these tips, you can make gluten-free tortillas that are just as delicious and versatile as traditional tortillas. So next time you are craving a tortilla, don't be afraid to give gluten-free tortillas a try.
