Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 15 ounces Canned Chickpeas (undrained, no added salt)
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chickpeas: In a large food processor bowl (11-cup capacity), add the canned chickpeas along with the liquid from the can. Make sure the chickpeas are from a no salt added can for best results.
  2. Process chickpeas to batter: Process on high speed until the mixture forms a smooth, yellowish, fine batter without lumps.
  3. Make dough: Add the flour, olive oil, and salt to the food processor with the chickpea batter. Process on medium-high speed until a slightly sticky dough ball forms. The dough should be soft and moist but not too wet or dry.
  4. Knead the dough: Sprinkle flour onto a work surface. Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking and place the dough on the floured surface. Sprinkle more flour over the dough and knead a few times, adding 1-2 tablespoons flour if needed, just until the dough becomes smooth. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes to relax.
  5. Portion the dough: Cut the dough into 15 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
  6. Roll out tortillas: On a floured surface, roll each ball using a rolling pin (or tortilla press) to a thin 3.5-inch (10 cm) diameter circle. Dust with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  7. Heat the pan: Warm a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  8. Cook the tortillas: Place a rolled tortilla in the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface.
  9. Flip and finish cooking: Remove the lid, flip the tortilla, and cook for another 1 minute on the other side until cooked through and lightly golden.
  10. Repeat and serve: Continue cooking the remaining tortillas in the same manner. Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate, cover with foil to keep warm and soft. Serve immediately or store for later use.

Notes

  • Use canned chickpeas with no added salt for better control over seasoning.
  • You can lightly oil your hands to handle the dough to prevent sticking.
  • If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour while kneading, but avoid adding too much to keep tortillas tender.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your stove and pan; watch the bubbling carefully.
  • Store cooked tortillas wrapped in foil at room temperature for a day or refrigerate for longer storage.
  • These tortillas can be used as a gluten-free substitute if using gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
