The Best Gluten Free Tortillas
This recipe was originally from a website that no longer exists. Name is unknown. These are paleo-friendly and lower carb. The tortillas are pliable crepe-like and are DELICIOUS! They are pretty easy to make, store in fridge and very versatile. We usually use these for tacos or fajitas and sometimes breakfast tacos as well. Since this is such a favorite at home, I usually triple the recipe. My sons have made PB&J wraps for lunch with these and even pinwheels. Yum!I uses my medium size cast iron skillet but any medium sized skillet will give you a taco sized tortilla. If you have a large skillet, you could make these into burrito sized as well. The key to keeping these from sticking to your skillet is to use butter/ghee/oil on skillet before pouring more batter. Also, make sure the skillet is plenty hot before pouring batter. It should sizzle immediately upon pouring. If you are a on a larger/high heat burner, then medium to med-high heat works best.
