Ingredients for Almond Flour Tortillas
How to Make Simple Grain-Free Tortillas
Almond Flour Tortilla Tips
- Measure out each flour by spooning the mixture into your measuring cup.
- The tortilla dough should be smooth like play dough.
- If your dough is too sticky add a little more tapioca starch.
- Parchment paper dusted with some tapioca flour should help.
- If using a rolling pin don’t apply heavy pressure, because this dough is quite delicate.
- If your tortilla gets stuck to the parchment paper after rolling or pressing into shape, don’t worry.
- Leave the parchment on one side of the tortilla, place the tortilla side onto a heated skillet, rub your finger across the top of the paper, and as the tortilla cooks you can peel the parchment right off.
- Use a bit more tapioca for the next tortilla if needed.
- If you overcook the tortilla it may be more brittle and stiff – use it for a tostada instead (wink).
Make This Gluten Free Tortilla Recipe
Homemade Almond Flour Tortillas
These gluten free and grain free tortillas are my homemade version that comes together with just a few ingredients. They don't require any eggs, or oil.
Servings: 3 people
Equipment
- 1 tortilla press or rolling pin
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- parchment paper
- whisk or fork
- Mixing Bowl
- non stick pan
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cup Blanched Almond Flour
- 1 Cup Tapioca Flour
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 cup warm water *see notes *Add 1/4 cup warm water and add more 1 tablespoon at a time until dough reaches a smooth texture (just like play dough) I find that around 1/3 – 1/2 cup water may be in the final product this all depends on the brand that is used and it's consistency.
Instructions
- Add blanched almond flour, tapioca starch, and salt to a bowl and mix.
- Add warm water a little at a time until your dough forms into a smooth texture (it will look and feel like play dough when it’s right)!
- Cut the dough into 6 even pieces
- Roll each piece into a ball.
- If you’re using a tortilla press cut two pieces of parchment paper and Place them at the bottom of the open tortilla press.
- Place your rolled dough ball and gently press with your fingers
- Apply the second piece of parchment paper on top of the dough ball
- Close the top of the press and fold the tortilla press arm over until the dough ball is a round disk.
- Preheat a non-stick pan to medium high-heat (my settings go to 10 and I set it to 8)
- Add your raw tortilla to the preheated pan and allow to cook
- The visible surface of the tortilla will have little bumps and will rise slightly.
- Flip your tortilla over in the pan. It should have small browned dots.
- Cook the second side for slightly less time.
- Add a damp paper towel to a plate and cover your cooked tortilla to keep it moist.
- Add each subsequent tortilla directly on top of the previous cooked tortilla and recover with the damp paper towel or kitchen towel.
Notes
*Add 1/4 cup warm water and add more 1 tablespoon at a time until dough reaches a smooth texture (just like play dough)
I find that around 1/3 – 1/2 cup water may be in the final product this all depends on the brand that is used and it’s consistency.
