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.
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.
