Healthy gluten free tortillas recipe made with gluten free sourdough and seeds - vegan, nut free, xanthan gum free, oil free, egg free, pliable and sturdy! Thesegluten free sourdough tortillas don’t fall apart and don’t break – a healthy homemade alternative to store bought gluten free tortillas. They're great for wraps, tacos, burritos or enchiladas.
Blend into a thin meal the seeds and the dehydrated onion, add hot water to the mixture and mix. Let it cool down.
Add the rest of ingredients to that. Knead it together with your hands until it forms a cohesive ball of dough. If it is too dry, add a little more water.
Divide the dough into 5 balls of same size. Roll with a rolling pin until flat but not too thin or it won't get soft when cooked. You aim for a 2-3 mm thickness.
For nicely rounded tortillas, cut around the edges using a lid, to make a circle. Remove the outside dough and reuse later for another wrap.
Heat up a large non-stick skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and place a tortilla onto a nonstick pan - I used a ceramic non stick pan (from Amazon).
Let it cook for about 1-2 minutes on the first side. Small, light brown flecks should be starting to appear. If so, flip it. Cook for about 1 minute on the second side.
Don't over cook or the wrap will get very crispy as tortillas chips ! It has to be dry but stay soft to roll.
Repeat those steps with the rest of the batter.
To keep the tortillas soft, cover with a towel or a lid.
Serve them cold with filling of your choice or hot.
Store in the fridge for 3 days, on a plate covered with a plastic wrap, to prevent them to dry.

Notes
In case you don't want or don't have a gluten free sourdough starter, just mix the brown rice flour and water (1:1) and use that instead.
For these vegan gluten free tortillas, I recommend using golden flax seeds for a better finish color. Brown and golden flax seeds have the same nutrition properties.
If you don't want to use chia seeds just replace them with more flax seeds (same amount).
You can use any herbs and spices you like for some extra flavor.
Use a non-stick pan (I bought mine from Amazon) - there is no need of oil for these pans.
You can freeze these gluten free tortillas - flat, inside a zip plastic bag.
If you want even more softer tortillas, replace the sorghum flour with more cassava flour. Also try to not use additional flour when rolling (I used too much flour in the video). If it stick use a parchment paper underneath.
