Gluten Free & Vegan Tortilla Recipe
Super easy, and only 4 ingredients are required to make these delicious homemade tortillas.
Ingredients
- ½ cup - Flaxseed
- ½ cup - Maize flour
- ¾ cup - Water
- ¼ tsp - Salt
Instructions
- Place the maize flour and flaxseed in a food processor or grinder jar and process until a fine powder forms.
- Take it out in a bowl and add the salt.
- Bring the water to a boil and gently pour the water into the bowl.
- Mix the flour and water together with a spatula, cover it and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth.
- Cut it into small portions (6-8 depending on how big you want your tortillas to be).
- Take one portion, dust some extra flour on top and roll the ball into a round about 1/10 inch thick (I like to use a bread & butter plate as a guide).
- Place a pan on heat and roast the tortillas on both sides for a couple of minutes until you notice brown spots on the surface.
- Make all the tortillas with this same method.
How To Make Fresh Gluten Free & Vegan Tortillas – Step By Step
- Combine your 1/2 cup of maize flour and 1/2 cup of flaxseed in a food processor or grinder jar until a fine powder forms. Place it in a bowl and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring the 3/4 cup of water to the boil and then gently pour it into your bowl, mixing with a spatula until the mixture forms the following consistency:
- Cover and leave it to sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth.
- Divide the mixture into small portions (I usually make 6-8 fresh tortillas out of the mixture).
- Take one portion, dust some flour on top and roll the ball into a round about 1/10 inch thick:
- Place a pan on heat and roast the tortillas on both sides for a few minutes until you notice brown spots on the surface. Repeat until you have roasted each portion.
You can use these tortillas in pretty much any way that you would use store bought tortillas, for the following wraps I used:
- Lettuce, boiled beans, tomatoes, onions, coriander and chillies in each tortilla.
- Top it with some mayonnaise and wrap the tortillas.
- Enjoy with a slice of lime!
