Vegan Gluten Free Flour Tortillas
Vegan Gluten Free Flour Tortillas are also dairy free! We just ran out of room in the title!
This recipe is an adaptation of our S.M.A.R.T (Sorghum, Millet, Arrowroot, brown Rice, Tapioca) Blend Flour Tortillas. To create it we took a classic flour tortilla recipe. Then, we replaced the wheat flour with Peetz S.M.A.R.T (Sorghum, Millet, Arrowroot, brown Rice, Tapioca) Blend containg Sorghum, Millet, Arrowroot, Brown Rice and Tapioca flours.
Next, we took the recipe and adapted it further by replacing the milk with coconut milk and the lard with all vegetable shortening.
Fresh tortillas are so much more delicious than store bought. Happy Baking!
