Wet

  • 266 ml (9 oz) Filtered Water, room temperature (1 C + 2 T)
  • 2 tsp Honey (16g)
  • 74 ml (2.5 oz) Oil – we use Avocado Oil (1/4 C + 1T)

Dry

  • 324g (11.4 oz) Flour Farm Organic Gluten Free Flour Blend (3 C spoon & level)
  • 85g (3 oz) Tapioca Flour (3/4 C spoon & level)
  • 1 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt (6g)
  • 1/2 tsp Aluminum Free, Double Acting Baking Powder (2.5g)
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum (1.5g)
  • 1/2 tsp Guar Gum (1.5g)

Instructions

Equipment: Digital scale (preferred), Tortilla press (optional), Rolling pin, Unbleached parchment, Measuring cups and spoons, Mixing bowl (m), Cast iron or heavy bottom skillet, heavy spoon, Digital infrared laser thermometer (optional), Tortilla warmer or towel & serving plate

Before You Dive In – Prep: Please Read!

  • Heat the water to 100 F/38 C
  • Prepare the tortilla warmer or fold a towel into a square shape and place on the serving plate

Step 1: In a liquid measuring cup, dissolve honey in the warm water. Add the oil and whisk together.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry blend. Mix well with a heavy spoon to fully integrate the flour with the liquid.

Step 4: Pat the dough into a ball shape and cover the bowl. Allow the dough to rest for 15-30 minutes. Do not allow the dough to dry out.

Step 5: Grease or spray with non-stick spray a cast iron or heavy bottom skillet and heat to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 C), or just under the smoking point.

Step 6: Scoop out about 57g (2 oz) of dough and create a ball. The dough should feel smooth – not sticky. Keep the rest of the dough covered in the bowl. You may also divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, then roll each piece into a ball or disk. Keep covered.

Step 7: Work with one dough ball at a time. Use a tortillas press or roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment. You will not need to flour the surface of parchment or dough. The tortilla should peel nicely away from the paper. If it doesn’t, then you have too much liquid or not enough gums (or gum substitute.)

Step 8: Place the tortilla in the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Peek at the underside. The tortilla is ready to flip when the bottom is golden brown and has dark spots or circles.

Step 9: While one tortilla is cooking, press or roll out another tortilla.

Step 10: Invert or flip the tortilla and cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes. Transfer the tortilla to the tortilla warmer or place within the folds of the towel on the serving plate. Cover with a heavy lid. Tortillas will soften as they steam under cover.

Step 11: Grease or spray the skillet between each tortilla.

Step 12: Repeat steps 8-11 for each tortilla.

Step 13: Fill tortillas with your favorite toppings & sauce.

Enjoy!

Notes

Make Ahead: You can prepare the dough up to 24 hours ahead of time and store covered in the refrigerator. Take the bowl out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before shaping. Knead the dough in the bowl a bit before rolling into balls to integrate extra moisture. The bottom of the bowl can get a tad soggy, and you may need to sprinkle a bit of flour to prevent sticky dough.

To store: Place tortillas in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, microwave for a few seconds or in a skillet set to low.

To freeze: Place tortillas in a freezer safe container, and freeze for up to one month. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet on low or in the microwave.
