Gluten Free Coconut Flour Tortillas

Submitted by TheHealthyAdvocate

"The coconut flour tortillas are gluten free, grain free and low in carbohydrates. They are great to use in enchilada recipes or as a sandwich wrap. These will not have the same texture as wheat flour tortillas, however they are a great substitute every now and then when on a gluten free diet."

This was... ok. Is definitely not going to fool you into thinking it's a tortilla, tho. I would have gotten the 3 this says it makes had I used a smaller pan, and had the first not disintegrated when I tried to flip it. The recipe does not state at what setting to cook these, so I used between medium and med/high, which worked for me on my stove. Keep in mind the use of coconut flour makes these extremely delicate. I'm not sure I'd use this recipe again for something savory. I'll use these again when I'm craving crepes, cause the sweet flavor of the coconut flour will be dynamite with some fruit and whipped cream. thanks for sharing.
