Grain Free Tortilla Crepes
With only four ingredients these grain free tortilla crepes are light and thin. They are a perfect tortilla to add your favorite filling, savory or sweet. It’s not easy finding a substitute for a crepe style wrap. This alternative is my go to when making enchiladas. Because they are so light and fluffy, they don’t overwhelm the dishes flavor and lets the filling become the star.
Making Grain Free Tortilla Crepes
The consistency of the batter is quite runny. If you have ever made your own “regular” crepes, you know the batter is quite runny and pours easily. The true is the same for these crepe style tortillas. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, to thicken up a little so your crepes will hold together while cooking. I also make sure that I am using enough oil in my pan so that they don’t stick. I love cast-iron pans, so oil is my savior when it comes to creating a non-stick surface. If you are using a non-stick pan, like a GreenPan, then you won’t need as much oil. Make sure that if you are using a cast-iron or other pan that may stick you use just enough to coat the pan.
Another tip is to make sure that you give your pan time to warm up. You don’t want your batter sitting in a cold pan, floating in oil. Your goal is to achieve a golden crepe, and making sure your pan is hot will ensure you reach this goal.

Notes
What to put in your tortilla crepe
Like I mentioned earlier, I created these crepes so that I could make enchiladas. My favorite filling is a chicken sauté. I use my crockpot chicken recipe and change the spices a little. I roast it with paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and coriander. Then I sauté the chicken breasts with some mushrooms and spinach and use that as my filling. Because the crepes are so delicate be careful to not overfill them. They would also work really well for manicotti or a sweet filling (like fruit) for a sweet treat.
