Quinoa Flour Tortillas (6 - 12" similar sized to store bought large variety or 12 - 6")

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of quinoa flour (If you do not have or cannot find you can use a food processor and mill your own quinoa)
3 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder (I bought at Nutter's)
1/4 teaspoon of Sea salt
1 tsp of grapeseed oil (other oil could be substituted)
1 cup of warm water (just a little less is what I used)
1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, it combines easily so very easy to do by hand. Mix until fully combined, then knead until smooth on a quinoa flour'ed surface. Let rest covered with with a clean tea towel for approx an hour. (I didn't and I didn't have an issue)

2. Divide into 6 or 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.

3. Use quinoa flour to flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll out ball, turning over and lifting every so often to avoid it sticking to surface.

4. Heat a frying pan on the stove top to med/high heat and place rolled out tortilla onto pan, cook for approximately 30-45 seconds per side, until high parts are lightly browned. Set aside on plate with a clean damp towel covering till you are done cooking the rest.

Top with whatever your heart desires and enjoy the texture of a tortilla without grains and rice!!
