Instructions
 

  • Mix the Dough:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add olive oil and mix until the flour resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add warm water, stirring until a dough forms. If too dry, add 1 tsp of water at a time until it comes together.
  • Knead & Rest:
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  • Cover with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes (this helps make the tortillas more flexible).
  • Roll Out the Tortillas:
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle about 6 inches in diameter.
  • Cook the Tortillas:
  • Heat a dry non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat.
  • Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side, or until bubbles form and light brown spots appear.
  • Remove and keep warm in a towel while cooking the rest.
  • Serve & Enjoy:
  • Use immediately or store for later use.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Warm in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side.
  • Make It Dairy-Free: Use olive oil instead of butter.
  • Make It Extra Soft: Add 1 tbsp plain yogurt or apple cider vinegar for a softer texture.
