Whole Grain Tortillas

May 7, 2010 By Kristen Feola

Whole Grain Tortillas

Whole Grain Tortillas

It's possible to find tortillas that follow the guidelines of the Daniel Fast, but that doesn't mean it's always easy. If you'd like to make your own, here is a basic recipe for you to follow. Start with your choice of whole grain flour, and stuff with your favorite filling.

Print Recipe
Course Main Course, Side Dish, Snack
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup brown rice flour
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal, optional
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water

Instructions
 

  • Mix flours, flaxseed meal, salt, and water in a food processor until dough forms a ball. Turn dough onto a floured work surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let dough sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 8 equal pieces, and roll each piece into an 8-inch circle to ¼-inch thickness. Rub a skillet with olive oil, and set over medium-low heat. Cook tortilla for 1 minute. Turn over, and cook 2-3 minutes on second side or until flatbread bubbles up. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
  • Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 tortilla)

Notes

  • Spread tortilla with Confetti Hummus, Hummus, or Spinach-Artichoke Dip, and stuff with beans, rice, and/or vegetables.
  • Instead of brown rice flour, use another whole grain flour, such as amaranth, barley, oat, quinoa, or spelt.

How long do you think they will stay fresh and keep for if kept out in a plastic baggie? Or is it recommended to refrigerate?

Also how do you store the Flatbread out on the counter in a plastic bag or refrigerated? Sorry for all the storage questions?

I usually store it in a sealed container or bag and leave it on the counter for up to 3 days. You can refrigerate it, too.

I would suggest putting it in the refrigerator. It will last longer. Thanks for your question!

These are great. Always a struggle to find a whole wheat tortilla that fits into the fast. Now I just make them. 🙂

Hi, Margie! Yes, if you can find whole wheat tortillas that are Daniel Fast friendly (don’t contain any restricted ingredients).

Hi! Great question. Since corn starch is not a whole grain, it is not allowed on the Daniel Fast. Corn starch is the starch extracted from corn and contains only the endosperm of the corn kernel. A whole grain product contains the germ, the bran, and the endosperm.

Have you ever tried making mexican Gorditas. I imagine you can make your own corn gorditas and stuff them with beans, potatoes etc… I was wondering if you had any recipes

Hi, Richardo! No, I haven’t made gorditas, but I’ve made pupusas! Aren’t gorditas fried? I wonder if you can make gorditas and bake them instead. Hmmm. It might work! 🙂 I’m sorry I don’t have any gordita recipes right now, but thanks for checking!

If you do try them, please post the recipe. We did the masa and made the Gorditas like we were doing tortilla, and it worked. We opened them up and stuffed them with beans, baked veggies, lettuce, avocado, and a delicious sals., I felt guilty afterwards, because I felt I was not fasting, I really enjoyed them! Thank you for responding. May God bless you!

Hi! Whole wheat products are allowed, as long as they’re baked and not fried. If crackers are baked, the label will say it. Also, check the ingredients to make sure everything is Daniel Fast friendly. This list should help: http://www.ultimatedanielfast.com/ultimate-daniel-fast-food-guidelines/. Thanks for your question! I’m so glad you’re seeking the Lord through the Daniel Fast!

Can you buy corn taco shells and corn tostadas on this fast?

Not if they’re fried (which most, if not all, taco shells, are). For taco shells or tostadas to be Daniel Fast friendly, the package should say “baked.” You can always make your own tortillas, I guess! 🙂

Yes, I believe they should be fine either refrigerated or frozen, although I’ve never tried it myself.

Hi, can I use almond meal instead of flaxseed meal or would it alter the taste too much? Thank you for all the wonderful recipes.

Yes. Leavening agents are not a part of the Daniel Fast. See my FAQs page for more explanation on this issue. Thanks for your question!

Is there an alternative to whole wheat flour? My son can not have wheat. Can we use just rice flour?

Yes, you can always substitute other flours. I haven’t tried that with this particular recipe, though, so I’m not sure on what combination would be best. Brown rice flour is a different texture than whole wheat, so you may need to use a little more or less to make the tortillas.

Can recipe be made with another, omitting the whole wheat flour ? I have a relative, that needs to eat without gluten.. Thanks

Yes, you could certainly substitute a gluten-free flour or combine two. However, the texture will be different because there isn’t gluten to bind it together.

Yes, corn is allowed. You can use corn meal to make your own tortillas. Or, if you purchase corn tortillas, check the ingredients to make sure there aren’t any restricted foods listed. Thanks for your question!
