I’ve been itching to make my own tortillas, and I finally did today! They were surprisingly, amazingly easy to make! I’m never buying store-bought tortillas again.
Whole Wheat Tortillas
~These tortillas are vegan, dairy-free, whole grain, and of course, sugar-free!
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
First, mix all ingredients except water. Then add the water until the mixture sticks together to form a nice ball. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a pan with a little bit of oil on the bottom (to prevent sticking). Meanwhile, spilt the dough into about 10 different parts and roll them into balls. Flatten the balls with a rolling pin, your hands, a cookie sheet, or whatever to make the tortilla thin. Cook the tortillas for about 30 seconds each side or until cooked to your liking (I like mine a little crisper).
Use them with your favorite dishes, or just eat ’em with a spread for a snack:
The possibilities are endless! The batch of tortillas I made today were a little thick, so it tasted kind of like naan. Yum!
Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:
Is there something that you always used to buy at the store until you found out that is was surprisingly easy to make! This happens to me a lot! I always find that my creations are easier on the wallet, too, than store-bought stuff.
Hi, Sugar-free! I wish I had time to make my own creations like you do! Instead, I give in and go to the grocery store! Those cardboard box meals get old! You are inspiring me to TRY to make more of my own things! ๐
Yay! Creating your own meals is so much fun. This tortilla only took me about 15 minutes to make, anyway!
Looks great. Home cooked food is always lumpy!
It’s a sign of individuality and character, despite what the supermarkets would have us believe ๐
Stumbled across your blog.
Wow, this recipe isn’t that difficult. Thanks for sharing!
I read your About page concerning your issues with sugar, so interesting. I also enjoy how healthful you are.
Great blog. I feel like I’ll learn a lot. Look forward to coming back again!
Thanks so much! I hope you come back!
how fun do those look! remind me of a paint splatter- i love how theyre mishaped and yummy <3 great job girlie!!
They look like Naan! YUM.
How many servings (tortillas) does this make though??
Yeah, they kinda taste like Naan, too! It’s been a little while since I’ve made it, but I’m pretty sure it makes about 5 tortillas.
Now I totally want to go try these out! It is so hard to find a decent ingredient list for tortillas in the store. I guess the best answer is to make them yourself. These look stupendous!
Wow they look good. Anyway , do you need to eat all the tortillajust after you cook them, or can you store them? Well I jist wonder
ing if I can make them for the whole week
They can probably be put in the fridge, but then heated for use.
