Easy, healthy, and delicious vegan and gluten-free chickpea flour a.k.a. garbanzo bean flour tortillas, tortilla chips, and taco shells! Corn-Free.

Looking for a gluten-free & corn-free alternative for your tortilla needs?

Garbanzo bean flour (a.k.a. chickpea, gram, besan) makes a delicious & super healthy alternative…full of fiber & protein, quick & easy to make, and oh so tasty!

I offer you three wonderful ways to enjoy…

Tips for making Chickpea Flour Tortillas:

• Make sure you let the batter sit for at least ten minutes for best results.

• You can omit or change the spices used in the batter.

• For a sweet crepe-like tortilla add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, omit savory spices and instead add a few pinches of ground cinnamon before cooking. This tastes great with coconut cream and berries.

• You can cook for just a few minutes each side for a flexible wrap or cook until crisp on each side for a tostada-like tortilla.

Tips for making Chickpea Flour Tortilla Chips:

• You can omit or change the spices to suit your tastes.

• You can omit the oil if oil-free.

• You can cut into any shape that you please or leave the tortillas whole before baking for a tostada-like tortilla ready to be topped with favorite toppings.

• Store tortilla chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips for making Chickpea Flour Taco Shells:

• You can omit or change the spices to suit your tastes.

• You can make large or small tortillas initially dependent upon what size taco shells you would like.

• Alternatively, you could make taco salad bowls by placing each tortilla into small oven-safe bowls making sure the tortillas cover the entire bowl up to the edges before baking.

• Keep taco shells in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
