Quinoa Tortillas
These quinoa tortillas are a quick, healthy, and gluten-free alternative to traditional bread, perfect for wraps or sides! Enjoy a simple, nutritious, and delicious option that fits into any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup quinoa (uncooked)
- 1 cup water (room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Quinoa: Optionally, soak the quinoa for 3 hours to remove bitterness. Rinse thoroughly under cold water using a sieve to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Blend the Batter: Add the rinsed quinoa, water, salt, and garlic powder to a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, with no visible bits of quinoa, creating a batter that resembles the consistency of crepe batter.
- Thicken the Batter: Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to slightly thicken before cooking.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil. This step is critical to prevent sticking during cooking.
- Cook the Tortillas: Pour ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan. Using the back of a spoon, spread it in a circular motion to form a 5-inch tortilla. Cook for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: Cool the tortillas on a wire rack. Avoid stacking them while warm to prevent sticking. Serve alongside your favorite Indian curry or as a sandwich wrap.
