Trying to have a variety of gluten-free options for the boys' school lunches can be a challenge sometimes. As I've said before, we are not strictly gluten-free, but we prefer to limit how much we eat of it. I am always game to try out new ideas, in hopes of finding success with one of them. Luckily, I scored with these Flourless Crepe Tortillas!
I achieved success when I stumbled upon the Simple Paleo Tortillas recipe from Stupid Easy Paleo. They are so good, I had to share the recipe and show what you can do with them! Not surprisingly, it is one of Stupid Easy Paleo's most popular recipes, and it inspired me to get into the kitchen and try making them myself. Not only are they good, they are, indeed, incredibly easy to make and awesomely gluten-free.
These flourless crepe tortillas use simple ingredients and it takes a mere 10 minutes to throw the batter together. Cook each tortilla in a small pan for about a minute total and they are ready to use and eat! How crazy is that?
I use these tortillas to make wraps for the boys' school lunches. I fill them with meat and cheese, roll them up, and they are ready to go! Additionally, I've also used these as soft taco wraps with ground meat and cheese and guacamole and salsa...and they held up great! They aren't as strong as flour or corn tortillas, but they are a fantastic flourless option!
The wraps are easy for the boys to eat at school and go great with all the other extras I include.
I used peppered salami and a mozzarella stick for these wraps...too easy!
And I made this one with sliced cheddar and spinach and peppered salami. So easy and tasty!
However, if you or your kids are PB&J fans, spread some on the tortilla and roll it up! Try sliced turkey with some cranberry sauce. Another idea...make a vegetarian wrap with leftover roasted sweet potato fries, cucumber and avocado. Spread some almond butter on the tortilla and roll it up with some prosciutto and apple splices. Alternatively...how about cream cheese and smoked salmon for a more sophisticated flavor?
On the other hand, why not put a sweet spin on these tortillas by adding vanilla extract to the batter? For example, think fresh fruit and some whipped cream. How about a banana with some chocolate spread? The tasty possibilities are endless!
This recipe makes approximately nine 8-inch flourless crepe tortillas. I usually make a batch ahead of time so I'm good for a couple of lunch days. To store, cool the tortillas completely before wrapping them in a paper towel and sliding them into a zip top bag to keep in the fridge. They stay soft and pliable and are ready for rolling straight out of the fridge.
Keep in mind that although I talk about school lunches, you can roll these up with your favorite fillings and eat them anywhere, anytime!
