Gluten Free Vegan Flour Tortilla Dough

Soft, pliable, and stretchy, these homemade tortillas come together from a simple dough that's kneaded until smooth and rested just long enough to relax before rolling. Working the fat into the dry ingredients by hand gives the dough that classic tender, flaky quality, while a quick rest makes each ball easy to roll into thin, even rounds. A hot, dry skillet is all you need to coax out those signature golden spots and matte, bubbled surface. Once cooked, they stay soft and foldable, ready for tacos, wraps, or a warm snack straight off the griddle. This one's a great option to keep in your gluten free rotation whenever a craving for fresh, made-from-scratch tortillas hits.

Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
3 tbsp vegan butter, at room temperature
⅔ cup warm water (about 110°f / 43°c)

Instructions

1
Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined.
2
Add the vegan butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingertips, rubbing until the mixture resembles coarse, slightly clumpy sand with no large pieces of fat remaining.
