Tasty Whole Wheat Tortillas

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 1 3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 cup defatted soy flour
• 1 tablespoon liquid lecithin
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon guar gum
• 1/3-3/4 cup hot water

Recipe

• 1 bring water to boil and set aside.
• 2 place the soy flour, whole wheat pastry flour, liquid lecithin, olive oil, salt, and guar gum into the bowl of your food processor fitted with the steel blade.
• 3 pulse 5-6 times to incorporate the ingredients and coat the flour grains with the oil.
• 4 add a little bit of water (about 2 t) and pulse-- repeat until the mixture forms a moist dough.
• 5 remove the dough from the processor and divide into 10 pieces.
• 6 roll each piece between your hands until it forms a smooth, round ball, about 30-45 seconds each (a good work-out!).
• 7 lightly spray the balls of dough with canola or olive oil cooking spray, cover tightly, and let them rest for 30 minutes (time not included in preparation or cooking times).
• 8 heat a well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick grill pan or skillet over medium high heat-- no extra oil should be necessary.
• 9 using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each ball of dough into a 6" to 6 1/2" round, using a small amount of flour to prevent them from sticking.
• 10 as you complete them, set on a plate and cover with a damp cloth so they won't dry out-- stagger them on the plate so they'll be easily separable when you're ready to grill them.
• 11 grill each round until it bubbles (about 1 minute), then flip and grill the other side-- the finished product will have lightly browned spots on both sides, and will be hard to resist eating until mealtime!
