Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 17 minutes

Mix all ingredients in bowl and set it aside for 5 minutes to thicken and hydrate.

Once pan or griddle is heated, LIGHTLY grease it with coconut oil (too much will make them crispy and bubbly).

Pour slightly less than 1/4 cup of batter into middle of griddle, and smooth out, forming a nice circle (pouring in a spiral pattern may help). Once the edges just start to turn brown (about 1-2 minutes, but be sure to watch it closely), flip the tortilla with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Transfer cooked tortillas to a plate with another plate on top, a tortilla warmer, or a folded towel to keep warm.

Serve them with your favorite fixings for tacos, burritos, or as fajitas, like we did. Enjoy!
