"flour" Tortillas

[schuyler]

Some time ago, I saw a recipe posted for flour tortillas made out of gluten-free flours. I printed the recipe and lost it before I could make some

I have tried corn tortillas and I don't really like them (they work okay for tacos, but I'd like something softer for things like enchaladas).

Could someone please post their tortilla recipes?

sorry i don't have a recipe, but a suggestion... corn tortillas are softer and roll MUCH easier if you pop them in the microwaves for like 20 seconds first.

about the recipe, i came across one a while ago but don't remember what/where it was. i think i just got it from typing it into google tho. so you might want to try that!

hope this is at least a little helpful! good luck!

First off you need to have some gluten-free Flour mix, and keep it on hand to use for other recipes

Mix together the following:

6 Cups of Rice Flour

2 Cups of Potato Starch Flour

1 Cup Tapioca Flour

or you may find some already made gluten-free Flour mixes.

Then for the gluten-free Flour Tortilla's

2 Cups gluten-free Flour mix

1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons non-dairy instant milk powder or non-dairy substitute

1 Cup warm water

combine the flour, xanthan gum, sugar, salt and milk powder.

in bowl of electric mixer, and whisk together.

Add water and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute

Remive dough from mixer and form ball. Divide the ball into 6 or 8 parts.

On a corn starch dusted plastic wrap, roll out each piece very thin until it forms

a 10" to 12" round.

Roll all the pieces, separate them with plastic wrap, and remove before cooking

Heat griddle to medium-hot or hot and cook each tortilla about 1 minute on each side.

I found this in the book called "The Gluten-Free Gourmet" by Bette Hagman, a GREAT book !

I just purchased some Food for Life rice tortillas. Haven't tried them yet but we do like their bread.

I just came across another recipe at Living Without dot com:

Not sure if it's any good but thought I'd post it in case.

I make gluten free flour tortillas quite often and they turn out wonderful. I use Kinnikinnick Pizza Crust Mix and use exactly the same recipe on the package for pizza EXCEPT I omit the yeast.

The dough is extremely sticky, so I use a greased scoop with a lever on it to make the balls; deposit the balls on a greased cookie sheet, cover with greased plastic wrap and let them rest for about 30 minutes. Then spray your hands very generously with cooking spray as if you were putting on hand lotion. You will now be able to handle the balls of dough. I flatten mine in my hand to about a 3 or 4 inch disk. I have an electric tortilla maker (which is like a waffle iron but with round flat surfaces that meet) so I just place the disk in the iron and proceed. With a tortilla maker you press lightly and release several times to let the air escape and each time the tortilla gets a little bigger. You will hear it squeaking each time. When the squeaking stops its done. Stack between sheets of plastic or wax paper. They keep great in the fridge or freezer. Like store bought tortillas, microwave a few seconds before using to make them more pliable.

I have never tried my idea with rolling out the balls with a rolling pin and then pan frying, but I would think if you rolled them between greased or waxed paper, it would work.

I always add some Italian seasoning to my dough to give them a little zip. But you could add anything you want, or nothing.

We use them for soft tacosand burritos, casserole enchaladas, sandwich wraps, rolled tight and sliced for pinwheel appetizers, quesadillas.....the uses are endless. A while back I was cleaning out the freezer and found some I had forgot about. I thawed them and cut them in 3" strips about the width of a noodle and deepfried them, salting lightly when done. They were absolutely awesome. We sat down and ate the whole platter.

Hope this helps.
