🍽️ How to Make a Gluten-Free Wrap Just Like McDonald’s — Easy & Delicious!

My Journey to the Perfect Gluten-Free Wrap

I used to love grabbing a quick wrap from McDonald’s — soft, tasty, and convenient. But once I went gluten-free, that simple pleasure felt out of reach. Store-bought gluten-free wraps often felt dry or crumbly, and I missed the soft, fresh texture of my favorite fast-food wrap.

Determined, I experimented in my kitchen until I found a recipe that really hits the spot: soft, pliable, and delicious — just like the McDonald’s wrap I loved, but 100% gluten-free and homemade!

Why Make Your Own Gluten-Free Wrap?

  • Control Ingredients: No hidden preservatives or additives.

  • Better Texture: Avoid dry, brittle GF wraps from stores.

  • Cost-Effective: Homemade wraps are cheaper than pre-packaged.

  • Customizable: Add herbs, spices, or seeds to suit your taste.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (make sure it has xanthan gum included)

  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch (for elasticity)

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted coconut oil

  • 3/4 cup warm water (adjust as needed)

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon dried herbs like oregano or basil for extra flavor

Step-by-Step Guide to Make Your GF Wrap

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, and herbs if using.

2. Add Wet Ingredients

Pour in the olive oil and warm water. Stir with a spoon until the dough starts coming together.

3. Knead the Dough

Using your hands, knead the dough in the bowl or on a clean surface for about 2 minutes. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but manageable. Add a bit more water or flour if needed.

4. Divide & Rest

Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Cover with a clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes. This helps the dough hydrate and become easier to roll out.

5. Roll Out Your Wraps

Lightly flour a surface with gluten-free flour. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin, round wrap about 6-7 inches in diameter.

6. Cook on a Skillet

Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Place one wrap on the pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned spots appear and the wrap is cooked through but still soft.

7. Keep Warm & Serve

Stack cooked wraps on a plate and cover with a towel to keep soft and warm.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use warm water, not hot, to activate the ingredients properly.

  • Let the dough rest — it makes rolling easier.

  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.

  • Store leftover wraps in an airtight container or freeze with parchment paper in between.

How to Enjoy Your Gluten-Free Wrap

Fill it just like a McDonald’s wrap — with grilled chicken, fresh lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, and your favorite sauce or dressing. Add some avocado or a squeeze of lime for extra zing!
