dairy free - gluten free - soy free - nut free - egg free - kid friendly I realize that I am sharing a traditional Mexican food staple on the Fourth Of July, which may be unorthodox for many food bloggers today. Many, if not all, are sharing BBQ favorites like chicken, kabobs and red, white and blue confections. But, I do what I want. And I want tortillas. And tomorrow IS Taco Tuesday after all and I'm getting ready with these easy, soft and totally rollable gluten-free tortillas. However, if you did come here today seeking a little American tradition, my Mini Apple Handpies are everything. I searched far and wide for a gluten-free tortilla that wasn't filled with preservatives and that didn't contain corn or yeast, but that would still allow me to bend and roll it and fill it with whatever ingredients my little heart desired. It was a fail time and time again. So, I decided to buy an inexpensive little crepe pan, a few ingredients and make them myself. And I'm so glad I finally did. I have used these for beef tacos, chicken fajitas, vegan cheese quesadillas (Daiya shreds pictured) as well as just rolled up with a little Earth Balance vegan butter. They are so good for a meal or a snack and easy to pack up and take on the go. Gluten Free Flour TortillasIngredients:
2 cups gluten-free flour blend (I use Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1) 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt 1⁄4 cup avocado oil (or other comparable high heat oil) 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar 1⁄2-3/4 cup warm water Directions: Sift your gluten-free flour, sea salt, cream of tartar & baking soda into a large mixing bowl. Add oil into dry mixture & mix with a spoon to combine. Add the water, working the liquid into the dough until a large, doughy ball forms. Wrap in plastic and let rest for at least 30 minutes. Divide the dough into 8-10 balls for taco size tortillas or 6-8 balls for burrito size and cover them again with a damp cloth. Lightly dust a counter or pastry board w/extra GF flour & roll out each ball of dough into a circle or oval approximately 1/4" thick. (If you want nicely rounded tortillas, trim off any ragged edges & discard. Don't roll the dough out more than once or the tortillas will be tough.) Heat an ungreased skillet or crepe pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Cook the tortillas 30 seconds on each side or until the dough looks dry & slightly wrinkled, with golden brown bubbles on both sides. Wrap in damp tea towel to keep warm as the others cook. Serve warm and enjoy!

aboutNosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me. What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet. I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options. |
