... And all things wellness!
Have you ever had a best friend be right there with you as you struggled through a really hard time? That’s what these Apple Cinnamon Nut Muffins were for me on my quest to eliminate gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, and eggs from my diet! These …
I can’t think of any better way to say Happy Chanukah than with Cassava Latkes!!! (Although they’re also the perfect appetizer or side dish any day of the year!) These latkes are crispy on the outside, and slightly chewy in the very center. DELICIOUS! These Cassava …
Whether right out of the pan or filled with your favorite toppings, these tortilla wraps are outstanding! While cooking up a batch I literally have to stop myself from eating them all before I finish making them. They’re sooooo yummy on their own… especially warm! These tortilla wraps do so much more for your meal than just hold it together!
Knowing these delicious, gluten-free, grain-free tortilla wraps are always in my freezer gives me comfort that any member of my family can throw together a whole-food, satisfying meal in minutes!
Here are some ways my family enjoys these tortilla wraps. (See Yuca Pairing recipe links below.)
This recipe was developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne of ThePaleoMom.com (See her full recipe link below.) A big thank you to her for creating such AWESOME tortillas!
All it takes is a few simple ingredients and about 30 minutes of your time.
Ingredients:
-cream of tartar
-baking soda
-warm water
Simply mix dry ingredients together, add oil and water, then blend until a dough forms. Toward the end it may be easier to knead with your hands into a large ball of dough.
Divide dough ball into smaller balls, depending on the number and size of tortilla wraps desired.
Roll out each ball with a rolling pin on parchment paper, or use a tortilla press if you’re lucky enough to have one. (A tortilla press is DEFINITELY on my wish list!) ThePaleoMom uses one in her video and her tortillas come out PERFECT in a fraction of the time! Click here for full recipe and video from Thepaleomom.com.
Place each rolled-out tortilla wrap in an UN-GREASED, preheated frying pan and cook on medium heat for 1-2 minutes until bubbles begin to form.
Flip and cook the second side for 30-60 seconds. Each side should cook enough to form brown spots as seen below.
Stack each tortilla wrap on a plate, with parchment paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together. They’re now ready to be filled with your favorite toppings. Once cooled they can also be frozen this way in a sealed plastic bag.

Healthy Eating Tip: Double your batch and freeze them for a quick, satisfying meal in minutes! These tortillas freeze perfectly! I make about a dozen and freeze them with parchment paper between them in a large zippered plastic bag. They’re then ready to be pulled out whenever a family member wants to make a quick breakfast wrap, salad wrap, taco, fajita, etc. They also hit the spot when you need a quick snack and would otherwise grab cookies or chips. For a soft bendable wrap, just heat frozen tortilla wrap in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or bake in the oven/toaster oven for 1-2 minutes. They can also be toasted (whole or first cut into wedges) for more of a crunchy cracker. Eat plain or dip into guacamole or hummus for a healthy snack or side dish. They are so versatile!
