Gluten Free Sorghum Tortillas Recipe (No Added Starch and Gum-Free Option) (2024)

Ingredients:

• 1-1/4 cups superfine white sorghum flour (Authentic Foods*), plus more for dusting
• 1/2 teaspoon guar gum (or xanthan gum**, if corn tolerant)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup boiling water, plus more for basting

Instructions:

1. Add the flour to a bowl. Whisk in the guar gum, if using, and the salt.
2. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the boiling water. Using a silicone spatula, combine the ingredients and set aside for 15 minutes.
3. Knead the dough until smooth and no seams remain. Roll into a log and cut into equal portions, four to six pieces depending on how large you would like your tortillas.
4. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. (The higher the heat, the more the tortillas will bubble.) Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a smooth surface.
5. Lightly flour the paper with sorghum flour and roll out a piece of dough or pat out into a circle, flouringas needed and flipping it over often to prevent sticking and dust with flour as needed.
6. Add one to the skillet and fry for about 30 seconds, basting with water about one time to keep it moist. Turn it over and baste any dry areas as needed. Flip over as need to thoroughly cook, atotal of 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Remove from the heat and keep covered or wrap in foil or between sheets of parchment to keep warm.
