'No Corn' Tortillas or Chips

These even look like corn tortillas!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It's best to use a kitchen scale whenever possible. If you don't yet own a scale, these recipes are based upon 'lightly packed' measuring cups, so whether you use the 'dip and sweep' method of measuring or the 'spooning into the cup' method, always gently press down on the mix in the measuring cup and add more to fill the cup, as necessary.

1 C Baking Mix equals approx. 125g

Makes 12-18 Taco-size Tortillas

or about 96 Tortilla Chips

INGREDIENTS

2 C MULTI-USE PIZZA & WRAP MIX (250g)

1 C Water (240g)

2 T Melted Butter (30g)

1/2 t Xanthan Gum (optional)

TIP:

The Xanthan Gum isn't necessary, but it makes the dough a little easier to press very thin, as this makes for good, crunchy chips. It also makes a little sturdier wrap for tacos, etc. and helps keep it from cracking.

DIRECTIONS

TIP: Parchment paper (cut to size) works best here for rolling/pressing the tortillas, and for baking them.

1. Preheat oven to 325° F.

2. In a medium-size bowl, combine all ingredients until a soft dough forms.

3. Let the dough rest 10 minutes, then knead and squeeze the dough for 30 seconds.

4. Remove 2 T of dough at a time and roll into balls.

5.. Use a tortilla press (or rolling pin) and two sheets of parchment paper to press into round tortillas (press very thin, as it will thicken slightly while cooking).

6. Use the parchment paper to transfer each tortilla to your sheet pan and gently peel off the top sheet.

To Cook: Place 6 tortillas on a lined sheet pan and bake for 6-8 minutes until centers are firm like the edges. You can also use your microwave but the oven produces the most even baking results. To Microwave: 1 tortilla at a time flipping halfway through until the center is firm and cooked through. The length of time will depend on the wattage of your microwave, generally 30-60 seconds. The tortillas can also be cooked in a very lightly greased skillet 1-2 minutes per side.

To fry the cooked tortillas use very hot oil and make sure the centers are cooked through first or the edges may start to burn before the centers brown.

FOR TORTILLA CHIPS

Follow the steps to make the tortillas. After baking, cool and stack them. Use a large knife to cut a stack of them into 8 sections like you would cut a pie. Scatter them back on your baking sheet and bake a little longer until crisp all the way through, about 6-8 more minutes.

Or, place in the Air Fryer and cook at 360 degrees until crispy.

To Fry: Fry in small batches in very hot oil until crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sea salt.
