Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Cornmeal or extra flour, for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the warm water and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together using a fork or your hands until a dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter, dusting with cornmeal or extra flour to prevent sticking.
Preheat a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until light brown spots form and the tortilla is cooked through. Adjust heat if necessary to avoid burning.
Remove the tortillas from the pan and keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve.
Serve the tortillas warm as a delicious gluten-free option for tacos or wraps.
