Description

Directions

• 1) In a small bowl combine golden flax meal and warm water. Set aside.
• 2) In a medium mixing bowl combine white rice flour, arrowroot, and finely ground sea salt.
• 3) Add flax mixture to flour mixture and stir together. A slicing motion with a wooden spoon combines the two thoroughly. Then add boiling water and mix together with wooden spoon. Once most of the dry ingredients are incorporated, form dough into a ball. If dough is too dry add more hot water one tablespoon at a time. If too moist add more rice flour one tablespoon at a time.
• 4) Flour surface with white rice flour and knead dough four to six times. Wrap in plastic wrap to prevent exterior drying while making tortillas.
• 5) Flour surface with white rice flour. Break off portion of dough and form into ball (2 tablespoons of dough yield about ten 6 inch tortillas). Press into flour on surface and flatten two times on each side, then roll out with rolling pin (see pictures in post).
• 6) Cook tortilla in a medium, greased (I use olive oil), non-stick skillet over medium or medium/high heat for about 2 minutes on each side. Place on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment or wax paper to cool. Leftover tortillas can be refrigerated in a sealed bag for a few days. To reheat, cover with wax paper or damp paper towel and place in microwave for 15 seconds on high.
• Vegan Quesadilla
• To make the plant-based quesadilla, I used a mix of Daiya cheddar and mozzarella shreds (about 1/4 cup) and fresh chopped jalapeno and onion. Although, any combination of veggies would be delicious! Place desired filling (but not too thick, or the cheese wont melt) on one tortilla and top with second tortilla. Place in non-stick pan over medium heat until cheese begins to melt. Then, flip to opposite side and complete melting.
