Gluten Free Flour Tortillas

I made homemade tortillas with 3 brands of gluten free flour and there was a clear winner for me!

Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

  • 3 cups gluten free flour
  • 3 tablespoons lard (or oil)
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup warm water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the salt to the flour and mix well. Use your fingers to crumble the lard into the flour mixture. Add 1 cup warm water and stir as much as you can with a spoon, then dump onto a work surface and knead into a cohesive ball. Feel free to add another splash of water if it's not combining readily.

  2. 2

    A rolling pin is traditionally used for flour tortillas, but without gluten you can just smoosh these as you would corn tortillas. Pull off a golfball sized chunk of dough and roll it between your hands to form a smooth ball. Surround the dough ball with plastic -- I used a Ziploc bag with the sides cut off -- and smoosh it into a thin tortilla using a casserole dish, flat-bottomed skillet, or a tortilla press.

  3. 3

    Heat a comal/skillet to medium high temperature. Once heated, add a tortilla to the dry skillet and cook each side for 45-60 seconds, or until light brown spots are forming on the underside.

  4. 4

    As one tortilla cooks, roll out the next to expedite the process.
