Gluten Free Flour Tortillas

by Allergy Free and Cheap Like Me

Prep Time: 15 mins

Cook Time: 5 mins

Keywords: bread entree gluten-free soy-free vegan

Ingredients (12 tortillas):

1 cup brown rice flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup sorghum flour

2 tsp. xanthan gum

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

2 tbsp. oil

3/4 to 1 cup hot water

splash of lime juice (optional)

How to Make It:

• Combine all the dry ingredients and oil together.
• Add the lime juice (if using) and hot water and beat well. Dough should be moist but not sticky.
• Pinch off a plum sized piece and roll out very thinly on a floured board or I like to use a silpat mat. 
• You can either shape them into a circle by hand or use a large circle cutter or bowl to cut them into a more uniform circle shape.
• Heat up a griddle or pan until very hot.
• Place tortillas on griddle and bake on each side until air pockets form and brown spots occur, this should take no more than 30-45 seconds on each side if your griddle is hot enough. 
• Put the cooked tortillas between a paper towel, tea towel, or foil to let steam come into the tortillas if not serving immediately.
• Best when cooked fresh and served warm. 
• Enjoy!

TIP: To save time in the tortilla making process, I like to make my tortilla dough ahead of time in a big batch. I roll out and cut the tortillas into circles and place each one between foil. I then put the pre-cut, uncooked tortillas into a freezer safe container and freeze them. When I'm ready to use them I simply take out how many tortillas I need and let them unthaw. This only takes about 5 to 10 minutes since they are so thin. I then bake as directed above and serve them fresh. It is a real time saver and I always have fresh yummy tortillas on hand!
