Best 7 Gluten Free Tortillas Recipes

GLUTEN FREE TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture until mixture resembles corn meal. Stir in hot water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until mixture forms into a ball. Knead dough until evenly combined.
• Cut dough into 8 pieces; roll each piece into a ball. Press each ball into a flat tortilla-shape.
• Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla in the hot griddle until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

GLUTEN-FREE FLOUR TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Combine all of the dry ingredients, then cut in or work in the shortening using a pastry blender or two knives or your hand.
• Add the warm water, starting with 3/4 cup and mix well.
• Continue to add water until a soft, cohesive dough is formed.
• Heat a comal, tapa or griddle to medium heat. Then, form a ball of dough into a flattened disk, cupping the outside edges a bit to form a round.
• Dust a work surface with corn starch and, esing a bollilo or rolling pin, roll into a round disk about 1/8 inch thick and about 8 inches in diameter or to your preference.
• Bake one at a time on a hot griddle until the surface bubbles. Turn only once, the first side should have brown flecks.
• Bake until the second side has slightly browned - should brown in a very short time.
• Keep warm in a tortilla keeper or wrapped in a cloth until served.
• Note: Will freeze in a sealed plastic bag for up to three months.

• The dough should be soft, but not wet, and mold easily into shapes.
• The dough will easily form a ball as you stir it.
• If necessary, add a bit more flour or water to achieve the proper consistency.
• Pinch off balls of dough the size of golf balls.
• Roll them in additional flour to coat well.
• Knead each ball a bit as you pat or roll it into a flat circle that's about 1/8" thick and 5" - 6" across.
• Repeat with all dough.
• Heat a heavy nonstick frying pan or griddle. Use no oil.
• Place each tortilla in the hot pan, and cook for a few minutes on each side.

FLOUR TORTILLAS, GLUTEN FREE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, place the flour, salt, and baking powder. Pulse a few times to mix. If you do not have a food processor, a stand mixer can be used with the wire whisk attachment to mix the ingredients. Add the butter pieces. Pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand. Add the warm water and turn on processor until a dough ball forms. The dough should be soft and pillowy. Once again, a stand mixer with a wire whisk attachment can be used to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. I recommend that the butter be cut in 1/4 tablespoon pieces to facilitate mixing. When the water is added, I recommend that a dough hook attachment be used to perform the mixing, Turn out dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. This rest period will help to distribute the water throughout the dough. If you don't plan on using the dough that day, you can refrigerate the wrapped dough. But will need to bring it to cool room temperature before you roll and make the tortillas. Please note that if the dough is too warm, it will be hard to roll and it will be too floppy to move to the pan. It's best when it's on the cooler side of room temperature. When you are ready to make the tortillas, roll your dough into 9 equal balls of about 1/4 cup/65 grams each. Cover the balls with plastic wrap while you preheat your pan. The tortillas need to be cooked in a pan that can be heated to a high temperature. I use a heavy steel non-stick griddle for this. Place pan on medium high heat and let preheat well-for about 5 minutes. If you have a tortilla press, now is the time to use it. Dust the press with tapioca flour (top and bottom). In addition, dust rolling surface with tapioca flour. Place the first dough ball in the middle of the press and firmly press. Open the press. Most likely the disk (which should be about 5 inches/13 cm in diameter) will stick to the upper part of the press (as it does for me). Carefully remove the dough disk and place it on the floured rolling surface. Sprinkle the surface of the dough disk with tapioca flour. If you don't have a tortilla press, proceed to the next step. With a rolling pin give the dough disk (or dough ball if you didn't use a tortilla press) a roll. Give the disk a quarter turn and roll it again. Repeat this process until you have a disk that is roughly 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. Don't roll these any thinner. If the dough gets too thin it will be almost impossible to transfer from the rolling surface to the pan. If the ragged edges bother you, you can cut them off at this stage with a sharp knife. With a large turner, carefully transfer the dough disk to the heated pan. It might take you a few tries before you are able to transfer the dough disk without it breaking. If your kitchen is hot, the dough might get too warm and might get floppy and be harder to roll and to transfer. If this happens, put dough into the fridge to cool down and firm up. Cook for about 60 seconds-until the surface of the tortilla is covered with puffed up bubbles. Flip and cook on the other side for another 60ish seconds. Both sides should have brown rings where the bubbles have formed. Flip the tortilla onto a dinner plate hot side up. You will now repeat the process with each dough ball. Flip each successive tortilla hot side up onto the tortilla stack. By the end of the process, you will have 9 tortillas. Cover warm tortillas with a towel to keep warm and serve. Tortillas are best fresh-they will be pliable and should roll around a filling fairly easily. Cool completely and then store in an airtight container at room temperature (not in the fridge) for up to 5 day. For longer storage, freeze. To refresh, microwave for a few seconds before use.

• Gradually add more of the hot water, a little at a time until you can knead the dough into a ball.
• Split into 8 or 10 small balls. Cover with a damp paper towel or cloth.
• Roll out each ball into tortillas, about 6" (15 cm) wide. For a neat tortillas cut around a small plate with a sharp knife.
• Gently place on to a hot skillet for a few seconds until bubbles appear and then flip over. Cook for a few more seconds.
