How To Serve & How To Store
You can double the recipe and make a bunch of gluten free tortillas for meal prep. They are also perfect to take to school, university, or work. Furthermore, these gluten-free wraps are a great side dish for hearty Indian dishes such as Red Lentil Dahl or Chickpea Curry.
You can also make them very thin so that they turn out like crepes. If you leave out the salt, you can also enjoy them with a sweet filling .
Storage: Let the tortillas cool completely. I recommend stacking them on a plate and putting some wax paper between the individual wraps so that they dont stick together. You can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days, ideally, wrap the plate in plastic wrap.
They dry out a bit in the refrigerator, but you can easily reheat them individually in a pan . They will become soft and elastic/pliable again.
You can also freeze them in freezer bags for up to 3 months!
Cook The Potato Tortillas:
- Pre-heat your skillet on medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the top layer of paper and flip the tortilla gently over directly in the skillet. Then slowly remove the other paper . Use a bit of oil if it sticks.
- Cook the tortilla approximately 30-45 seconds on each side.
- Once cooked keep the tortillas moist & warm .
Use them as a flatbread and add on any toppings youd like!
Whisk And Add Liquid At Room Temperature
The batter is very easy to prepare and it will resemble pancake batter, slightly more liquid.
In fact, these paleo tortillas are not made from a roll-able dough like wheat tortillas.
These paleo tortillas are cooked like pancakes on a non-stick pan.
To make the batter, add all the dry ingredients into a medium-size mixing bowl, and whisk to evenly distribute the flours.
Then, add the liquid at room temperature, not cold or the arrowroot flour will form lumps.
Finally, whisk until smooth and look like crepe batter in texture.

Line Your Tortilla Press With A Deconstructed Plastic Zip
Theres really only one way to shape these tortillas into rounds without lining your tortilla press with something. If you take a zip-top plastic bag, slice it open on both sides, you have a thick piece of plastic without a seam. Pressing your tortilla dough in that plastic allow you to make clean rounds without the creases that are unavoidable if you roll between parchment paper or plastic wrap. It also makes cleanup much easier!
Are Mission Tortillas Halal
As a Muslim, it is important to me to eat food that is halal. Halal means lawful, and food that is halal is free from any ingredients that may violate Islamic tradition.
One of the most common ingredients in halal food is flour. Flour is made from wheat, and wheat is forbidden in Islam. So, to make halal tortillas, the flour must be replaced with a gluten-free flour.
Gluten-free tortillas are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and they are also halal certified. So, if youre looking for a halal tortilla option, gluten-free tortillas are a great option.

Can I Use Another Type Of Flour To Make These Tortillas
I have tried with multiple other types of flour, including coconut flour and almond flour, and had zero luck using them. The only types of flour I can recommend are tapioca flour, tapioca starch and cassava flour.

Form The Gluten Free Potato Tortilla Dough:
- In a bowl take the sourdough starter from the fridge, measure 3/4 cup and put the rest back. If yours is on the thinner side add a bit of more flour to it, to thicken up a bit. To that, add psyllium husk and the potato mixture, mix well and let it rest covered for 10 minutes, to absorb the moisture.
- I you dont have a gluten free sourdough starter, you can either make one or the second best options is mixing brown rice flour with warm water or plant based milk . The consistency will be similar to the starter.
- When ready to cook the gluten free tortillas, add the arrowroot starch , and baking powder and form a dough. It should look like a cookie dough. See video recipe.

My children dont love these tortillas, but its good to know that you can grab a package at Trader Joes in a pinch. If I melted a bunch of cheese inside, theyd eat them. Theyre also less expensive than and very similar to the Food For Life brown rice tortillas, which are frozen and more costly.

A Gluten Free Tortilla Challenge
Over a decade ago during my new gluten sensitivity diagnosis, I tried my hand at some homemade gluten free tortillas, but honestly the abundance of store bought gluten free tortillas has sky rocketed as gluten free has become more popular, so I chalked up tortillas as one of those store bought conveniences that I would take advantage of. There is a variety of gluten free tortillas out there, but as I shopped with my friend, we found that there were NONE with healthy ingredients that were made in dedicated gluten free facilities. NOT ONE! This really frustrated me! Itd been a long while since I tried my hand at homemade tortillas, but I really wanted to create something that my friend could safely use for her girls. Gluten free flour blends have REALLY improved in the last 15 years, and I had a feeling Namaste would be a really good candidate to trial with tortilla making.
Dont Spread The Batter
If it is the first time that you cook arrowroot flour tortillas, there are a few things to note.
First, use a non-stick pan or pancake griddle under medium-high heat and grease the pan with at least 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or oil spray.
Then, keep in mind that you are working with high-starch flour which makes the dough very elastic when it comes in contact with heat.
It means that you must scoop the 1/3 cup of batter in the center of the pan and then slightly tilt the pan but not too fast, the batter will spread/fall apart.
If you want to spread easily, dont tilt the pan, place the batter in the center of the pan and use the back of a tablespoon to spread the batter by circular motion.
That is the easiest way to learn how to spread paleo tortilla batter without breaking it.

Flatout Flatbread Gluten Free Wraps
The Flatout people are kind of famous for their low-calorie wraps. According to their website, their gluten free wraps are valued at 4 Weight Watchers SmartPoints each. I think thats higher than the regular wraps. Of course!
I had been on the hunt for these babies the moment I saw a few gluten free bloggers starting to review them online, without any luck. You couldnt even seem to purchase them online, even from the manufacturer. Why would you have a marketing campaign if your product isnt readily available to consumers?
When I finally found these wraps, anticipation was high. They really didnt disappoint. They have a great flavor thats mostly neutral but not invisible, arent too chewy and taste completely normal. My oldest selected them as her favorite, and she eats the most gluten-containing food outside the house so shes a good judge.
The package insists that you heat them before rolling, but even if you defrost them and dont heat them first, they do still roll. One side of the wrap will flake a bit, but thats an Achilles heel of store-bought tortillas in general.

Who Is This List For
I find that online reviews of gluten free packaged products are often written from the perspective of good, for gluten free. Theyre not comparing the product to its conventional counterpart, but rather to previous experiences with gluten free products.
This list is for anyone who eats gluten free and wants to avoid wasting money on products that arent simply good, for gluten free . Since I live and work in New York, in the U.S., the product availability that I discuss is from that perspective. If you live in a different part of this country or a different part of the world, please comment below and tell us your favorite brand of gluten free tortillas, and where you are able to purchase them for a reasonable price.
I purchased all of these tortillas with my own money. Nothing in this post is sponsored, these reviews are honest and forthright .
All of the products listed are gluten free, dairy free and egg free. Some contain soy, and one contains almonds. Two are Paleo, which means that theyre also gluten free, dairy free and soy free by definition. One is kind of strange, but its truly my favorite and I hope youll consider giving it a try. Youll know it when you see it!
