Meal times in our house, with three hungry kids, often feel like a joyful whirlwind. But I remember a time when finding something everyone loved, especially my son with his gluten sensitivity, felt like an impossible puzzle. Store-bought options often disappointed us – they were either crumbly, stiff, or just lacked that homemade warmth. I craved a versatile base for everything from quick lunch roll-ups to savory dinner wraps. So, I experimented. Flour after flour, mixture after mixture. Finally, after many attempts, I cracked the code to making truly pliable, delicious gluten free wraps. These aren't just for those avoiding gluten; they're for everyone who loves a soft, chewy wrap that holds up to any filling. My kids now rave about "Mom's special wraps," and honestly, that's the highest compliment a mom can get. These incredible gluten free wraps changed our mealtime game, bringing simplicity and deliciousness back to our table. You are about to discover your new favorite kitchen staple. These gluten free wraps are incredibly easy to make, transforming your gluten-free cooking experience. First and foremost, they taste amazing. Forget the dry, brittle wraps you might be used to; these are soft, flexible, and perfectly chewy. They possess a neutral flavor profile, making them suitable for both sweet and savory applications. Moreover, they use simple, readily available ingredients, meaning no special trips to obscure health food stores. You likely already have most items in your pantry. Preparing these gluten free wraps also gives you complete control over the ingredients, allowing you to avoid unwanted additives and preservatives found in many store-bought varieties. You save money by making them at home too! Think about all the meal possibilities: quick breakfast burritos, fresh lunch wraps, or a delightful base for dinner. Finally, the process itself is surprisingly therapeutic. Rolling out the dough, watching them bubble on the griddle – it's a small culinary joy. You will absolutely love the versatility and deliciousness these homemade gluten free wraps bring to your family's table, making healthy eating both simple and delightful.

  • Total Time: 75 mins
  • Yield: 10 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Salt
1 cup Warm Water
2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum (if using), baking powder, and salt. Thoroughly combine these ingredients
  2. Pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms. Then, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using a little extra gluten-free flour). Knead for about 5-7 minutes. The dough will become smooth and elastic, unlike traditional gluten dough, but still very manageable. It’s important not to over-knead. The goal is to create a cohesive ball for your gluten free wraps
  3. Shape the dough into a ball. Place it back in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature
  4. After resting, divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small ball. Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin with gluten-free flour. Take one dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Aim for a thickness similar to a regular tortilla. Don't worry if they aren't perfectly round; rustic charm is part of the appeal. Continue this process for all the dough balls, stacking the rolled-out gluten free wraps with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pan with a tiny bit of olive oil, if needed (though a good non-stick pan may not require it). Place one rolled-out wrap onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden-brown spots appear and the wrap begins to puff up. Flip and cook the other side. You want them cooked through but still soft and pliable. Repeat with the remaining dough. As you cook the gluten free wraps, stack them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft
  6. Serve your warm, fresh gluten free wraps with your favorite fillings. Enjoy the satisfaction of making your own delicious, versatile wraps!

Notes

Do not skip the 30-minute resting time for the dough; it's crucial for hydrated and pliable wraps.

Use a light hand when rolling the dough, using just enough gluten-free flour to prevent sticking, and aim for an even, relatively thin circle (similar to a thin pancake).

Ensure your skillet is properly heated to medium-high for quick cooking and to encourage bubbles. Watch for small bubbles on the surface as an indicator to flip; do not overcook as they can become brittle.

Immediately after cooking each wrap, stack and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to trap steam and keep them soft and flexible.

Store cooled wraps with parchment paper in between in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze for 2-3 months.

Reheat refrigerated wraps in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 10-15 seconds. Thaw frozen wraps overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
