To be perfectly honest, when you live with a restricted diet due to food allergies and intolerances, it really is tough in the beginning and you eventually learn to just live without sometimes. Now, while I love getting creative in the kitchen, there are a few foods that I really just let go of out of ease. A flour tortilla is one of them. Our family just kind of resolved to not being able to have them, and so we just gave in to buying corn tortillas instead. Though we do like corn tortillas, there are times when you really want the soft chewiness of a flour tortilla, ya know?
I will admit, these tortillas do take a little bit of time to prepare, but I assure you they are so worth the time. They are soft, yet durable enough to hold all the goodness you want to put in them! I have used them for soft tacos and quesadillas! They soften up when heated either in the microwave for about 15 seconds or heated in a skillet briefly. They also crisp up really well for quesadillas. I'm also happy to say that we had a few left over and they stayed fresh for up to three days sealed in a container on the counter!
Gluten Free Flour Tortillas
Makes 20 small or 10 large
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free 1-to-1 flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Then, add the carbonated water (start with 2 1/4 cups and add more as needed), olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the flour mixture. Combine all of these together and allow the mixture to sit for an hour. The dough should be thick, but slightly sticky to the touch. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Using a large cookie scoop*, scoop out one or two scoops of dough per tortilla. With wet hands, press out the tortillas to make a thin circle. Place the pans in the oven and bake the tortillas for 5 minutes, then flip the tortillas and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes.
*Since gluten free doughs need to be slightly wetter than their gluten counter parts, I use my large cookie scoop when I need to scoop out even sized things like rolls or tortillas. It keeps things a little cleaner and ensures that I can bake things evenly through.
