Paleo Tortillas (Grain-Free, Dairy-Free)
If you are a fan of tortillas, but don't want the gluten, these Paleo tortillas are an excellent substitute! Gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, vegan.
Servings: 6 tortillas
Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca starch, flour or cassava flour (120 g)
- 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons water plus a splash, if the dough is too dry
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Stir and knead dough until well-combined. If needed, add more water or more tapioca flour to achieve a workable dough that is not sticky or crumbly.
- Split dough into six evenly-sized balls. Flatten each into rounds and sprinkle with a bit more tapioca flour. Use a rolling pin to thin out dough further between two layers of parchment paper. You want the dough to be as thin as possible. It should be approximately the size of a taco-sized tortilla.
- Gently remove top layer of parchment paper. Turn a medium non-stick pan to medium heat and gently flip dough and parchment paper over into the pan, and gently pull off the other layer of parchment paper. Allow to cook until the edges have hardened. Flip and repeat until both sides are cooked.
- Please note: right after cooking, the tortillas may be a bit hard. I recommend one of two things: 1. After cooking, place them immediately on a plate and cover with a towel. This will help to soften them a bit. Sometimes this is not enough, so you may need to toss them into the microwave for a little while to soften them further. 2. Make these ahead of time and store them in the fridge. When you are ready to use them, stick them in the microwave until they are soft and warm.
