    Top Tips

    • Be certain to let the heated dough cool sufficiently (do not burn your hands!).
    • I would suggest not substituting the flours for any other flours, as I discovered this combination through much experimentation and it is what produces the best result (pliable wraps!).
    • Do not be afraid to knead the dough thoroughly. The more you knead, the smoother the tortilla dough becomes and the easier it is to work with.
    • If you would like to make the tortillas at another time, you can prepare the dough balls ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 4 days before cooking them.
    • I highly suggest using the parchment paper method I suggest for rolling out the dough. It greatly reduces the stickiness factor and produces the best tortilla wraps.
    • You can experiment with the heat level to produce the results you would like. If you plan on using the tortillas for quesadillas or the like, you might want to cook longer on higher heat for a slightly crispier result. If you intend using them for wraps, cook on medium or even low-heat for only about 1 minute each side for the softest, most pliable results. It is a versatile recipe!

    Author: Kristen Wood

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups water
    • 2 cups brown rice flour
    • 2 tbs tapioca flour
    • 2 tbs olive avocado, or grapeseed oil
    • 1/2 tsp sea salt
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • In a saucepan over high heat, add water and bring to boil. Once boiling turn off heat.
    • Stir in remaining ingredients and stir vigorously until combined (it will look a tad crumbly at this stage, do not worry). Let sit until cool enough to handle; about 7-8 minutes.
    • On a parchment paper lined cutting board or countertop place your dough and knead until you can form one smooth round ball of dough.
    • Divide dough into approximately 16 rounded tablespoon portions. Form into smooth dough balls.
    • Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
    • Dust your parchment paper with tapioca starch. Place one dough ball portion on top and then place a new sheet of parchment paper on top of your dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out your dough in between your parchment paper sheets until you have one thin round tortilla shape.
    • Carefully peel back the parchement paper and place your tortilla onto your hot skillet.
    • Cook 1-2 minutes, flip, cook 1-2 minutes longer until beginning to brown on each side.Repeat with remaining dough.
    • Serve right away, or keep wrapped in a tea towel for use the same day, or place in a covered container in the fridge for use up to 4 days, or freeze!
    • Enjoy!

      made these tonight, they turned out perfect, I used cast iron I think that's the best way to make tortillas, I recently cannot have gluten or dairy because of my thyroid and allergy test, thank you so much for this, I will make all the time

      It was too sticky to even knead or roll. I had to keep adding flour or tapioca, and even tried oil. It was incredibly frustrating and ended up in our trash can!

        I'm so sorry to hear you had a negative experience! This is usually a pretty foolproof recipe. Can I ask if you made any changes to the recipe? For instance, white rice flour or regular GF flour will not work in this recipe. Also, as stated in the tips, it will be sticky to start, but kneading it will actually take away the stickiness and if you do not like getting your hands into the mix, kneading through parchment paper works well, too. I hope you have a better experience if you decide to try again!

      Awesome recipe! I am GF and DF and have found it hard to find wraps which are both AND can be frozen. I have already made this recipe 2 times for last 2 days. My husband loved having it warm. I have made a batch and frozen it. Would you please tell me how to thaw or warm it again to put the fillings in it to make a wrap.

        Hi Nandam - I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to share. 🙂 You can actually skip thawing and actually place a frozen wrap in a pan over medium low heat, flipping occasionally until thawed and then you can use as is for a wrap or continue to cook if you're making a quesadilla or a warm wrap or the like. If you would prefer thawing, you can do that too, in which case I recommend placing it in the fridge to thaw overnight. I hope this helps!

      Hello,
      Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I left out the oil because my doctor has me on an oil free diet and they still came out terrific! Question, you mentioned you can freeze the dough balls, but I want to know if you can roll them out ahead of time and refrigerate OR freeze them? will they still have the beautiful texture and pliability? I thank you in advance for answering my questions.

            Hi, Anita! I haven't tested it, but from experience, those usually work well as a replacement in 90% of situations. Arrowroot also makes a great alternative to tapioca. Good luck! I hope you enjoy the recipe. 🙂

      Hi I cannot do rice flour... any suggestions for an alternative nut free grain free flour?
      My flour options are coconut, chickpea, and cassava but thats iffy for me.

        Hi! How are you with sorghum flour? I know some of those on a grain-free diet are sensitive to it and some are not. It is most like brown rice flour, in my opinion. Second to that, cassava flour can make some excellent grain-free tortillas. I have a good blogger friend over at Calm Eats that has a lovely grain-free tortilla recipe here: https://calmeats.com/paleo-tortillas/. I hope this helps! 🙂

      Hello,

      I was so excited to make these tortillas, as I'm on a restrictive elimination diet and can finally have the tapioca flour. However, I, too, followed the directions exactly (I'm an experienced baker), and, even after adding about a cup more of the store-bought rice flour, it's far too loose and wet to make into a ball. I guess I'll keep adding more rice flour and have 500 tortillas, like Sun had.

      Thank you,

      Jen

        HI Kristen,

        Thank you for replying! I used Arrowhead Mills Rice Flour. Sadly, I couldn't use the dough at all: no matter how careful I was, it would fall apart when I tired to peel it off of the parchment paper.

        Any suggestions?

        Regards,

        Jen

          Hi Jen - that is really odd. The boiling step usually eliminates any chance of it being too wet. It usually absorbs rather quickly and is more on the dry side rather than wet. Hmm. I would suggest halving the recipe and giving that a go, kneading it as much as possible before rolling, and if all else fails, I would suggest trying a different brand of brown rice flour (I like Bob's Red Mill). I'm sorry you've had this experience, and I do hope it works out for you if you try it again!

      Nice job! This recipe came together quickly and worked out perfectly. The tortillas taste great, they're pliable but not doughy, and I'm glad this made a batch of 16 because I ate three of them while standing over the stove cause they were so fast and yummy. At least there are some left for the rest of the family for dinner (even if I'm too full to eat now). Thanks for sharing this!

      Made it to the recipe and it worked out perfectly.. just wondering if you can freeze the dough so you can make them fresh next time.. there is only 2 of us to feed but a family of 4 would need this normal quantity. Thanks for this recipe it’s worth the 20mins to make them..

        Hi Kelly - I'm so happy to hear it worked out for you! Yes, you can freeze them. I like to roll them into balls, place the dough balls on a cookie sheet in the freezer until frozen then store them in bags in the freezer. Then you can just set out to thaw prior to rolling out, usually around 1 hour or so. Alternatively, you can also halve this recipe for smaller portions! I hope this helps. - Kristen

          Actually I put the whole left overs in one solid ball in the freezer. it was dry when I pulled it out of the freezer so I put it in a food processor and added a little hot water to bring it all back together and make it workable. Worked perfectly

        Hi Elizabeth - Hmm, there isn't a typo. It's definitely a 1:1 ratio for the water and flour. I'm wondering..did you boil the water? Because if that step is skipped, the water would definitely yield different results. I'm still happy you were able to enjoy it though! 🙂

      I made this and the dough was extremely wet and sticky.( I think it was because I made homemade brown rice flour )

      But I didn’t want to make anymore, so I added A gluten free flour blend that I had (first two ingredients was rice flour) and added until it became a nice dough.

      This came out very good and much better than expected ?

      now I have like 500 tortillas because of how much dough I made haha.
