Part 1 is here if you missed it.
Well, it’s been a busy week putting up garden produce. I’ve picked and/or processed green beans, tomatoes, broccoli, grapes, peaches and apples this week. So I haven’t been baking to say the least. We had enough gluten-free, corn-free tortillas from last week’s batch that I didn’t tinker with my recipe since my last post. Feel free to flog me with a virtual wet noodle.
To make up for it, I’m going to post the recipe as I’ve developed it so far. I have frozen these before, and they do just fine. Keep in mind this is a work in progress. If you tinker with it, I’d love to hear how it comes out for you!
Flexitillas (make sure you say this with a Mexican accent: flex-i-TEE-ya. Sombrero optional.)
1 Cup Tapioca Starch
1 Cup Cooked Beans (Navy beans are high in calcium and the right color)
1 Cup Almond Flour
Tortilla dough
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tsp Salt
Put the ingredients in the food processor and run the machine until it purrs. (What, yours doesn’t purr? Ok, then just process until smooth. And then buy a cat.) Add some palm shortening – about 1/3 cup – and process again. You’re looking for it to turn into coarse crumbles. Add some water into the spout part of the food processor while processing and stop when the mixture starts to form dough.
These toast up nicely!
Cook as usual by pressing out balls of dough in a tortilla press and toasting on a medium-high griddle.

I’m liking this idea for corn/gluten-free tortillas! Gonna save a link for it and hope to try it sometime soon.

That looks really good! How long do they generally stay soft? Are there usually leftovers after a meal?

When there are leftovers, they’ll stay soft for at least a few days. I keep them in the fridge in a zippie bag. They also freeze just fine.

Awesome! Thank you!!

I tried to make these without a tortilla press- made a tasty mess. On my second try I added enough water to make a thin batter and poured them on the griddle like pancakes. Success! One side looks like a pancake, the other a tortilla. Going to put the fixins in the pancake side and fold over to slip it past the family. Thanks for sharing your recipes and experiences on your website. It makes life so much easier, tastier and less expensive for other allergy- mommas such as myself.

You could also try rolling the dough with a rolling pin. I did that last night and it worked pretty well.

The recipe instructions don’t mention when to add the cooked beans.

The beans get added with the flour. In this recipe, they act as a flour replacement.
