Picture tortillas that are wonderfully thin when cooked and have a delightful texture that's perfect for crafting wraps that satisfy every craving – all without the use of wheat, dairy, corn, canola/vegetable oil. What you need is a dependable, uncomplicated tortilla recipe that you can effortlessly recreate because let's face it – finding the perfect tortilla in stores can be a HARD task. And even when you do stumble upon superior options, they tend to come with a substantial price tag. This is precisely why having a trustworthy tortilla recipe at your disposal becomes a kitchen stable for making wraps that are healthy. Allow me to introduce you to our family's homemade gluten-free tortillas – nourishing, conveniently adaptable and ready to be whipped up time and time again.
Ingredients
100 grams (about 3/4 cup) of buckwheat flour
50 grams of all-purpose gluten-free flour (make sure it is cornstarch-free)
3 tbsp of melted coconut oil
450ml of water (sometimes more, depending on the flour you use)
Directions
Mix some water with the flour with a spatula until you have a dough.
Then add the oil and mix it.
Use a whisk and whisk it and add more water until it is liquid enough.
Scoop into a non-stick pan and bake slowly.
Flip the wrap once the one side is light brown to bake the other side.
Once baked, let them cool on a baking rack.
When cool, place them on a plate with parchment paper in between to prevent them from sticking together.
Notes:
Avoid overbaking in the pan to prevent the tortilla from becoming brittle and prone to breaking.
For optimal results, I suggest using a 17" Fry Pan. This size yields generously sized tortillas that create substantial wraps, perfect for a satisfying lunch.
Prioritize your health by selecting a non-toxic pan, as Teflon can be harmful due to its toxicity.
