Homemade Gluten Free Flour Tortillas spread on a plate

In this post I show you how to make gluten free flour Tortillas at home. I used gluten free all purpose flour. Just make sure the flour has some sort of starch already in it, for example potato or tapioca starch. The starch will make the flour more pliable.

Helpful Hints:

  • 🌮 I did not use a rolling pin but stretched the dough with my hands. I found that the rolling pin stretches the dough too thin and then they start to break. The dough was much easier to stretch with hands.
  • 🌮 I also used a plastic wrap on which I stretched the dough this helped prevent the dough from sticking to the surface and was easier to pick up.

We do not simply use tortillas in our house for Mexican dishes, we also use them as:

Some alternative uses of tortillas:

  • 🌮 Roti/Chapati for South Asian dishes such as curries because they are pretty similar t each other.
  • 🌮 As buns/wraps sometimes, I know this is a bit unusual but my kids don't like the gluten free buns available in stores, also majority of the time the ingredients contain one or two of their allergens in them.
