<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nWhen my husband learned during the Whole30<\/a> that he reacts to gluten, there were two things he was sad about missing out on: Homemade Pizza<\/a> and taco night.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve made HUGE progress on taco night ever since I discovered this gluten free tortillas recipe with cassava flour!<\/p>\n In case you\u2019ve never heard of cassava flour, here\u2019s a brief lesson.<\/p>\n Note: If you\u2019re not gluten-free, grain-free, <\/strong>or otherwise do not need to avoid grains, I highly recommend making either Homemade Corn Tortillas<\/a> or Homemade Flour Tortillas<\/a>, just because they have cheaper ingredients.<\/p>\n However, if you need gluten-free flour tortillas (or grain-free) <\/strong>or for whatever reason need to avoid grains and are missing out on all the foldable, bendable love that comes from a tortilla or wrap (like Bacon Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps<\/a>), then this cassava flour tortillas recipe is for you!<\/p>\n P.S. If you\u2019ve heard that people with food allergies cannot afford their groceries, <\/strong>let me bust the myth and say that it is COMPLETELY possible to eat allergy-friendly without going broke IF you have a tried-and-true, solid system in place.<\/em><\/p>\n Graduates from my course Grocery Budget Bootcamp<\/a> have had MULTIPLE food allergies and follow all sorts of diets (i.e., GAPS, Paleo, WAPF, Whole30, AIP, etc.), and they\u2019ve all learned how to make it work within their budget.<\/em><\/p>\n Grocery Budget Bootcamp Enrollment is currently closed, but check out my FREE Fight Inflation Workshop<\/a>. You\u2019ll get access to three AMAZING video sessions focused on how to save money on food right now, despite rising grocery costs.<\/em><\/p>\n Some gluten free flour tortillas recipes have ingredients like xanthan gum or psyllium husk, but you won\u2019t find those here! Aside from the cassava flour, you\u2019ll find simple pantry staples in this recipe. Here\u2019s what you need:<\/p>\n The brand of cassava flour that you buy is a very big deal. <\/strong>Different brands have different textures. Some are very coarse, and some are very fine.<\/p>\n Step 1. In a large bowl<\/a>, <\/strong>or the bowl of a stand mixer<\/a>, combine all the ingredients except water. Using your hands or the beater blade (a pastry blender<\/a> works too), mix everything together until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n Step 2. Add the water and mix until the dough starts to come together,<\/strong> looks smooth in some parts (it will never be completely smooth), and the dough pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.<\/p>\n Step 3. Preheat the griddle<\/a> to 350F. <\/strong>Weigh the dough into 1-ounce portions and set aside.<\/p>\n Step 4. When the griddle is ready,<\/strong> roll each portion of dough into a ball. Place the dough ball between two pieces of parchment paper<\/a> on a tortilla press<\/a> and press. Gently peel back one piece of parchment paper. Turn the tortilla into your hand and gently pull off the other piece of parchment paper.<\/p>\n Step 5. Place on the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes, <\/strong>or until you see small bubbles start to form on top. The underside may get traditional brown spots that you see on tortillas.<\/p>\n Step 6. Flip and cook again for 2-3 minutes, <\/strong>or until you see small bubbles start to form on top. Remove to a cooling rack<\/a> to cool. Serve warm.<\/p>\n The good news? These cassava flour tortillas taste EXACTLY like regular flour tortillas. Your allergy people will be so happy!<\/p>\n The honest news? There\u2019s a technique in order to get these things to work. It\u2019s not hard, but you do need to follow my directions. Here\u2019s the deal:<\/p>\n I highly recommend a tortilla press. <\/strong>I have this tortilla press<\/a> that I bought from TJ Maxx or Marshalls several years ago, and I love it. If you don\u2019t have a tortilla press, try using a rolling pin with parchment paper.<\/p>\n You need parchment paper<\/a>.<\/strong> I love my Silpat mats<\/a> for all sorts of recipes \u2013 they\u2019re a one-time investment that I can wash and reuse a million times over again. But they don\u2019t work for these cassava tortillas.<\/p>\n I recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your dough. <\/strong>Kitchen scales aren\u2019t expensive \u2013 I\u2019ve had this cheap model<\/a> for several years and it\u2019s still going strong!<\/p>\n Work in batches. <\/strong>After you\u2019ve mixed the dough, resist the urge to weigh each ball of dough individually, and then pressing, and then cooking, and then flipping, and then cooking, and then removing to a cookie sheet<\/a>. Working in small batches uses your time more efficiently.<\/p>\n Speaking of a griddle, use one. <\/strong>Griddles have a non-stick surface, making them great for all homemade tortilla recipes. But they also have a larger cooking surface, so you can cook more tortillas in less time than if you used a cast iron skillet<\/a>.<\/p>\n Allow tortillas to cool on a cooling rack. <\/strong>This helps keep the tortillas soft and pliable but also prevents them from cooking and melting into each other when you stack them on top. They only need a few minutes to cool on cooling racks<\/a>, which is exactly how long it takes to cook the 6-8 portions of dough!<\/p>\n Now that you\u2019ve got your cassava tortillas ready to go, you can make gluten free wraps and tacos and all sorts of yummy meals!<\/p>\n Much like any other tortilla recipe, these cassava flour tortillas give you mainly carbohydrates. But you can make them fit with your macros for the day when you choose your filling!<\/p>\n Focus on gluten free wraps or tacos that have a protein filling, like chicken, steak, or lean ground beef, and fill up most of the remaining space with produce, whether that\u2019s lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, grated carrots, or sliced onions.<\/p>\nWHAT IS CASSAVA FLOUR?<\/h2>\n
