Since going on a low carb diet, I've cut out a lot of bread but I came across a problem... I love sandwiches. I started to buy whole wheat tortillas at the store, which can be used for literally anything. They are great for healthier homemade quesadillas or for on the go veggie and turkey wraps. Instead of constantly running out to the store and spending a lot of money, I decided to try and make my own. They came out great! Making these tortillas is extremely quick and easy.
This recipe has 3 simple ingredients, Spelt Whole Wheat Flour, Water and Salt. Did you notice that there's no olive oil? That's because it's really not necessary. You can also use regular whole wheat flour or almond flour if you don't like the taste of spelt. Mix the ingredients together in a bowl. Though using an electric handmixer for 5 minutes will create better results, using your hand and a fork will work just as well. After all of the ingredients are mixed together, cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Start to preheat your skillet or nonstick pan. After 10 minutes, roll your dough up into 6-8 balls. Then roll out each ball into a flat circle using the bottom of your hand or a rolling pin. Put some flour on your hands and dough to avoid sticking.
Make each tortilla individually. Try to spread each as thin as possible without breaking or tearing. Place the first one in the preheated skillet for about 45-60 on one side. Then flip it over to the other side for an additional 45-60 seconds. They should look golden brown. If they are not finished, raise the heat of your stove-top. If the first one comes out a little bit burnt, turn down your heat. Place each one on a plate and you're done! Healthy Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas at your fingertips.
