how to make Soft Chickpea Flour Tortillas

Ingredients:

2 cups chickpea flour (*)
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup tapioca starch (or arrowroot starch/potato starch)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend until a smooth batter forms. The batter consistency should be slightly thicker than that of a crepe batter.
Allow the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes. After that, give it a quick stir, adding more water or flour if needed. The batter consistency should still be slightly thicker than that of a crepe batter.
Preheat a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Grease it with the cooking oil of your choice.
Once the pan is heated, pour in ¼ cup of the batter and gently maneuver the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter out.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the top dries out and no wet spots can be seen. Gently flip it over using a flexible spatula and cook for another minute on the other side.
Repeat the process for the remaining batter, and enjoy your chickpea tortillas while warm!
