24. Whole Wheat Tortilla (& chips) Recipe

This is one of my breakfast idea. 3egg white and avocado tortilla.

Tortilla is very easy to make. 3-4 ingredients ,super healthy.

Great for diet.

For my experience I feel that yeast food(such as bread) is hard to digest.

So I turn to eat more tortilla.In Hong Kong is not hard to find the frozen one but they cost expensive than the one I made.

And I can omit the salt and sugar in my tortilla make it much more healthy.

I love baking. So I enjoy making my own tortilla.

I mix my dough with a fork only!!!! THAT'S ALL YOU NEEDS!

Is healthier, no salt , no sugar and is fun to knead the dough!

You might want some helpers such as kids for rolling out the dough,they can always makes very creative shape,right?Very talented,haha.

I made 2 times this recipe though this week already.

Cos I eat it every single morning to substitute bread.

And also made tortilla chips which is a very healthy snacks.

I made a lot.Refrigerate them and whenever I want to eat.I microwave it for 15 second.

Then I can always have fresh and hot tortilla!!

So here is the recipe!

Whole Wheat Tortilla & Chips Recipe

Ingredients:

2cups Whole Wheat Flour

(You can use white all purpose flour , gluten free flour etc.)

1/4cup Oil (Butter, lard etc. )

I use olive oil for sure!

1/2cup Water (Luke warm water)

optional:

Pinch of salt

1/4 Baking Powder (I prefer add, the tortilla will forms more bubbles and prettier)

1) Add the flour(and baking powder) to a big bowl, make a hole in the centre of the flour,slowing mix in the oil,water ,(salt) with a fork and mix until they are just combined. If your dough is too dry.Add more water. (Mine need about 1/8cup of extra water)

2) Knead the dough about 5-10mins, the dough should be smooth , soft and not sticky.

3) Wrap the dough with plastic wrap then place into the fridge , refrigerate for 4 - 24 hours.

(You can skip this step or let the dough rest for 20 mins if you don't have much patience.)

4) Divide the dough to 10 -12 part. Roll out the dough by using a rolling pan and a small bowl for getting a nice shape.

(You can let your kids made their own creative shape.It doesn't matter, mine just because I have to take photos.)

5) Heat up a sauce pan to smoking hot(or till you can see the smokes came out from the pan.)

6) Cook the tortilla for 30 second each sides.

Tortilla chips
