Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
• 0.5 cups Tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or neutral oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients until well blended.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a clean surface lightly dusted with tapioca starch. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of tapioca starch one tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.

Step 5

Using a rolling pin, roll out one dough ball at a time on a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface. Roll into a thin, round tortilla approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully transfer the tortilla to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until light brown spots appear, and the tortilla puffs slightly.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining dough balls, stacking the cooked tortillas on a plate and covering them with a clean towel to keep warm and pliable.

Step 8

Serve immediately or allow the tortillas to cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
