Gluten-Free Tortillas
Ingredients
-
1½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
2 tablespoons oil (olive, avocado, or vegetable)
-
¾ cup warm water (add gradually)
Instructions
-
Mix dry ingredients
-
In a bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder.
-
-
Add wet ingredients
-
Stir in oil and warm water a little at a time until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
-
-
Rest the dough
-
Cover and let rest for 10–15 minutes. This helps prevent cracking.
-
-
Divide and roll
-
Divide dough into 6–8 balls.
-
Place between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into thin circles.
-
-
Cook
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (no oil needed).
-
Cook each tortilla 30–45 seconds per side, until light brown spots appear.
-
-
Keep warm
-
Stack cooked tortillas in a clean towel to keep soft.
-
Tips for Best Results
-
If dough cracks, add 1–2 teaspoons more water.

Don’t overcook—gluten-free tortillas dry out quickly.
