Gluten Free Cassava Tortillas
Soft, pliable, and made with just four simple pantry ingredients, these cassava tortillas deliver everything you want from a great tortilla — flexible enough to fold without cracking, with a subtly earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with any filling you throw at them. Cassava flour is naturally grain-free and wheat-free, which means no blending of alternative flours or gummy binders required — just sift, mix, press, and cook. The warm water and oil work together to create a dough that's genuinely easy to handle, and the short rest period lets the flour fully hydrate so you get smooth, even rounds every time. A hot dry skillet is all you need to get those signature speckled brown spots and that satisfying slightly toasty aroma. The towel-stacking trick at the end is a small but brilliant move — it traps steam and keeps every tortilla tender and warm while you work through the batch. With 8 tortillas per batch, you'll have plenty to go around for taco night, wraps, or a simple side with your favorite dip.
