Yesss 🙌 Soft, bendy gluten-free flour tortillas that don’t crack when you fold them — let’s do it.
The key is the right flour blend + a little extra moisture.
🌮 Soft Gluten-Free Flour Tortillas
🧂 Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp oil (olive, avocado, or melted butter)
- ¾–1 cup warm water
👉 If your blend does NOT contain xanthan gum, add ½ tsp.
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Mix dry ingredients
Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder.
2️⃣ Add oil + water
Stir in oil and ¾ cup warm water.
Add more water gradually until a soft dough forms.
3️⃣ Rest the dough (important!)
Cover and rest 10–15 minutes. This helps hydration and flexibility.
4️⃣ Divide & roll
Divide into 6–8 balls.
Roll between parchment paper (GF dough is delicate).
5️⃣ Cook
Heat a dry skillet over medium-high.
Cook each tortilla 30–45 seconds per side until light brown spots appear.
6️⃣ Steam to soften
Stack cooked tortillas under a towel to trap steam — this keeps them pliable.
🔥 Extra Soft Tip
For ultra-flexible tortillas, add:
- 1 tbsp yogurt or
- 1 tbsp psyllium husk (improves stretch)
Storage
- Fridge: 3–4 days
- Freezer: Up to 2 months
Reheat in a skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp towel.
