Super easy homemade Tortillas! (gluten & grain free, paleo)

Super Easy Tortillas - Au Naturale!

Easy, Homemade Tortillas. (Paleo, gluten & grain-free!) Great for Mexican nite or breakfast burritos. by www.aunaturalenutrition.com

These gluten-free, grain-free tortillas are as easy to make as pancakes! They can be used for Mexican night dinner, a breakfast burrito, or as a wrap for a sandwich. Yummy-licious! They have a nice, neutral flavor, hold up well to folding, and are a fantastic alternative to wheat or GMO corn tortillas. Ole!

Makes: 6 tortillas

Ingredients:

1 cup egg whites
4 Tbsp melted ghee or butter
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup tapioca flour (where to find it)
2+1/2 Tbsp coconut flour (Tropical Traditions brand)
1/4 tsp Real sea salt

Directions:

Preheat a 9 inch skillet over medium-low heat. (I love my LeCreuset skillet!)
Add all ingredients in a bowl and beat well to combine. A whisk works fine. Room-temp ingredients blend the easiest.
Allow a few minutes for it to thicken slightly. It will have the consistency of very thin pancake batter. (Stir in between each tortilla you make.)
Grease your skillet with additional coconut oil or butter/ghee.
Pour in 1/4 cup of the batter and immediately roll it around to evenly coat the bottom of the pan.

6. Cook for approx 1 minute.
7. Flip and cook until done on the other side.
8. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

(I often make a double batch and freeze some for future meals. That uses almost a whole carton of egg whites, too.)

This recipe was inspired by the tortilla recipe HERE on StupidEasyPaleo.

Turn this tortilla recipe into berrylicious crepes! They make an elegant (yet easy) breakfast. See how HERE.

Have you tried my recipe for Guac-ziki Sauce yet? It's awesome on tacos!

do u mean 2.5 tbsp of coconut flour? Or two cups plus a half tbsp?

Jenny

Those Tortillas look good, much better than store bought gluten free ones. Thanks

Jenny

Thanks, Kathleen! They are yummy. Plus, the store bought GF tortillas tend to crack; these don't. Yay!

Can I use any gluten-free flour? Or does it have to be tapioca and coconut?

Jenny

Hi Danielle, You can probably substitute another starchy gluten-free flour for the tapioca flour. But, the coconut flour is needed for the slight thickening of the batter. Have fun with it & enjoy!

What is the reason for leaving out the egg yolks?

Jenny

2/23/2015 10:53:00 pm

Hi Heather, if you leave in the yolks, the tortillas taste really eggy. With just the whites, they have a more neutral flavor. Enjoy!

These look amazing! Are the egg whites used as a leavener or as a binder?
Our diet is egg-free too so trying to find a suitable egg white substitute that won't affect the taste and consistency of the dough!

Jenny

Hi Cherelle (what a pretty name!), the eggs are more of a binder. They tortillas barely rise. Hope you can find a good solution. Let me know!

could you use FLAX eggs?? (Vegan EGG) you make a flax egg by mixing flax-meal (flour) with water.

Hello ,I was wondering what could I substitute coconut flour for we have allergy's?

Jenny

3/4/2015 08:26:04 am

Hi Margret, The coconut flour is used as a thickener. Maybe, I'd try just adding more tapioca flour and see if you can achieve a good consistency. Good luck! Let me know how it works!

One could probably use barley flour or even arrowroot. Arrowroot is a thickener and is used in place of cornstarch. I used to make crepes with barley flour due to reactions to white & wheat flours.

Absolutely fantastic! My new go to for wraps. Thanks so much.

Jenny

I'm so happy you like them, Kathy! Thanks for reading!

Is the 4 tbsn ghee/butter only supposed to be in the batter or are you supposed to use additional ghee/butter to grease the pan?

Jenny

4/13/2015 11:24:54 pm

The 4 Tbsp of butter goes in the batter. Grease the pan with additional butter/oil. Thanks for reading!

Just curious - does the salt have a purpose or is it just for taste? Trying to keep a low sodium diet, and wondering if I could just take it out of the recipe altogether? Also about how many tortillas does this make? So excited to try it!

Jenny

4/14/2015 05:53:09 am

Hi Kayla, The salt is just for taste. It makes 6 tortillas. I hope you love them, too! ;-)

How long could you freeze them for. I dont think I would have the time to keep cooking something like this often but I could make a bunch at once and freeze a few months worth....if they will last that long in the freezer.

Jenny

4/22/2015 12:37:14 am

Hi Audry, I think these would freeze well for several months. As long as the container is sealed tightly. Maybe even put some parchment paper in between them - for removing just one at a time from the freezer. Enjoy!

Hi Jenny,
Can I use Egg Substitute instead of Whole eggs whites.

JENNY

5/3/2015 12:40:56 pm

Hi Mary, I do use egg whites from a carton for the recipe.
Did you mean the yellow egg-substitute? That is a refined food with zero nutritional value. But, they'd probably work. I left out the yolks because the tortillas taste really eggy if you leave them in.
Thanks for reading! :-)

Mmm I want to make these right now! I have all the ingredients!

Jenny

They do keep well, GiGi! Enjoy!

Can I use arrowroot powder instead of tapioca? Tapioca gives me horrible headaches.

Jenny

7/16/2015 03:21:31 pm

hi Kassie, arrowroot will probably work. Try it out and let me know!! :-)

Jenny

7/23/2015 05:05:46 am

I wouldn't suggest barley flour, because I don't think anyone should be eating gluten.

Lauren

8/16/2015 08:57:47 am

These are fine if you want to avoid gluten. That everyone should quit eating gluten is a pretty extreme opinion; not everyone has a problem with it.

Jane

Grand child is allergic to dairy, could I sub olive oil for the ghee?

Jenny

10/7/2015 09:17:06 am

Hi Jane, Olive oil (or another healthy oil) should work just fine . It'll just taste slightly different. Kids love these!

Carmen

12/26/2015 05:10:47 pm

Yum!! I'm so excited to make burritos again!!! These are soo good. They don't taste eggy or coconutty like other recipes I've tried. Thank you!

Jenny

12/26/2015 06:26:00 pm

You're very welcome, Carmen! I'm so glad you love them. Thanks for reading!

Could an all-purpose gf flour blend be subbed for coconut flour? Would I leave the tapioca starch out? New to this, thanks!

Jenny

1/21/2016 11:48:49 am

I don't think so, Kelly, sorry. Coconut flour is a flour like no other. It expands greatly in liquids, so the measurements are very important.

Thanks!!!
My husband can not get enough of these. I also think they are delish! So far we have only used them for fish tacos because we are on a fish taco kick. Today I am making 12 of these and freezing them. Fingers crossed they are just as good once thawed.
Fondly,
-Lisa

I'm so glad that the tortillas get a big seal of approval at your house, Lisa! The fish tacos sound delicious, too 🐟. Thanks for reading! 😊

Linda

Hi...just wondering how long they would last in the fridge (not frozen)

Jenny

3/1/2016 12:24:17 pm

Good question, Linda. I don't know since they get eaten fast & never lasted too long. Probably no more than a week, at most. Thanks for reading!

Jennifer

2/18/2017 11:44:30 am

Any chance of getting a nutritional breakdown? These are delicious!!!!

Jenny

Ha, you're funny! 😂 So glad you liked them.
