Gluten Free Enchilada Casserole with Beans

Imagine gooey, stretchy cheese, creamy beans (red or black), and tortillas that actually taste like real tortillas. Then add some enchilada sauce, red or green. What is it? My gluten free enchilada casserole recipe! You can use store-bought tortillas. Rudi’s makes excellent gluten free tortillas. You can roll them and they don’t break.

Flan Using Evaporated Milk Only

Flan

I made this flan recipe on Cinco de Mayo. It is a Mexican and Spanish tradition, though you may find some slight differences in recipes. It is naturally gluten free. This is my personal version which omits sweetened condensed milk. I find it too sweet. You can easily make flan using evaporated milk only and control the amount of sugar you add. I have leftovers of this luscious dessert and can’t wait to have some again tonight. Yum! Continue reading “Flan Using Evaporated Milk Only”

Gluten Free Sopapillas Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Sopapillas

This gluten free sopapillas recipe turned out amazing! They are crunchy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside. I enjoy them more than the gluten sopapillas. The secret? Buttermilk! Using buttermilk creates crispy pillows of goodness.. (I got this idea from Gluten Free Indian Fry Bread Recipe. If you do not wish them to be chewy, use the Indian fry bread recipe. You can either make sugar and cinnamon coated pillows or large, round disks to use for tostadas. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Sopapillas Recipe”

Gluten Free Breakfast Burrito with Homemade Tortilla

Most people are amazed that you can make a better gluten free tortilla better than you can buy anywhere. The ingredients are nothing you would most likely expect.

You can make the dough in advance, keep shredded cheese on hand and any other ingredients you’e like to add. Then in the morning, you just pat out the dough and fry in about one minute. Now, there is no excuse to skip a protein filled breakfast with this delicious gluten free breakfast burrito. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Breakfast Burrito with Homemade Tortilla”

Mini Fried Gluten Free Pies: Sweet or Savory (Dairy-Free)

Image: Mini Fried Gluten Free Pies

When you just cannot deal with rolling a double gluten free pie crust, these mini fried gluten free pies are ideal. However, unlike pie crust, they are crunchy. You may fill them with sweet or savory fillings. For my test recipe I just used Comstock fruit pie filling. Both Comstock and Wilderness brands are gluten free. These little gems are similar to empanadas (Spanish pies), but instead of baking them, you fry them. When empanadas are made in smaller sizes to serve as appetizers, such as these, they are named tapas. You may wish to check out my savory gluten free empanada filling (the crust on that recipe is a traditional gluten free pie crust), or my homemade sauteed apples for a healthier filling, if you’re not a quick open-a-can type of person.
