Healthy 1-Ingredient Quinoa Tortillas
A super easy recipe for healthy quinoa tortillas. The result is a flexible and slightly stretchy tortilla that's perfect for burritos. Plus, you get all the health benefits of quinoa! They are even gluten-free!
Servings: 6 tortillas
Equipment
- Non-stick skillet or griddle this is necessary for these tortillas because the batter loves to stick. See the notes above in the post for alternative options if you don't have a non-stick pan.
- Blender
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup quinoa uncooked
- 3/4 cup water lukewarm
- 1/4 teaspoon salt optional
- 1/4 teaspoon preferred season eg. garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder optional
Instructions
- Submerge the quinoa in a bowl of water and soak for at least 3 hours. This removes some of the quinoa's bitter flavor and softens the grain.
- Dump the quinoa into a sieve and drain. Add the quinoa to a blender along with the 3/4 cup lukewarm water, salt, and seasonings. Blend until very smooth and liquidy.
- Preheat a nonstick griddle or pan on medium-low heat. Add a couple drops of oil and lightly coat the bottom. Once heated, add 1/4 cup of the batter and quickly spread into a thin layer using a crepe spreader or spatula. Cook until surface looks dry and it can be lifted up, around 30-60 seconds. Remove from pan and serve or let cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter. Enjoy!
Notes
If the batter seems too thick and you can't spread it into a thin layer, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
