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.
