Ingredients
– 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (ensure it has xanthan gum)
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
– 3/4 cup warm water (more as needed)
Instructions
Creating these easy gluten free tortillas is straightforward. Follow these steps to make them successfully:
1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder.
2. Add Oil: Pour in the vegetable oil and mix until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture.
3. Add Water: Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until it starts to form a dough.
4. Knead the Dough: Once it starts to come together, knead the dough in the bowl for about 1-2 minutes. If it feels too dry, add a tiny bit more water.
5. Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This will help with the pliability of the tortillas.
6. Divide the Dough: Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.
7. Flatten Balls: Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball on a lightly floured surface until you achieve a thin, round shape about 6-8 inches in diameter.
8. Cook the Tortillas: Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30-45 seconds on each side until it begins to lightly brown and puff up.
9. Keep Warm: Once cooked, transfer the tortillas to a plate and cover them with a kitchen towel to keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your fresh tortillas while they’re warm, or let them cool and store them for later use.
