Gluten-Free Tortillas (cf, df, ef, gf, sf, vegan)

 

 

 

I found a new website called Ela Vegan for vegan recipes.

You can find it here.

Her recipes are so simple and clean as a whistle.

These gluten-free tortillas/crepes/wrappers are fantastic!

The end product depends on how much water is added,

so these transform from thicker sandwich wraps

to less thick but hearty tortillas,

to thinner crepes for dessert.

 

They look like conventional crepes, right?

Believe it or not, they are quite healthy!

That wasn't even my first desire when I was watching her videos, 

but it is an added bonus.

 

My mom, also known as Mimi,

 being the amazing French chef that she was,

used to make us crepes every New Year's.

It was one of the traditions we adored as kids.

She would have three separate skillets on the stove,

and could hardly keep up with us devouring them

hand over fist.

Ah, the good ole' days!

 

It's been a while now that I've been frustrated

with the offerings of tortillas at the grocery store.

I wasn't even looking for something necessarily gluten-free,

but these fill the bill remarkably well.

I've reintroduced gluten into my diet

over the past few weeks with success.

But I still have a gf son, and I enjoy finding new recipes

that we can both test out.

I'm sure making them from scratch yourself

would be wonderful,

but I needed something that was quick

and didn't require a beloved abuela to teach me.

These did not disappoint.

 

They are made with 4 ingredients 

(although I added garlic powder for the savory version),

fry up fast in a cast iron skillet,

and can be made savory or sweet!

What else could a gal ask for?

 

These are too good not to share.
