Fat Free Whole Wheat Tortillas

"I wanted tortillas to go with tonight's dinner but was out of them. So I went searching for a recipe that did not contain any fat. I found this one, and tweaked it a bit, in one of my favorite cookbooks "500 Fat Free Recipes." My husband could not get enough of them. We dipped them into soup and made bean burritos out of them."

directions

  • In a large bowl combine the flour and 1 cup of water.
  • Mix well.
  • If it needs more water to get to a dough stage, then add.
  • On a floured surface knead the dough until it is soft.
  • Make it into balls (12-16 depending on size).
  • Then flour a board well.
  • Take each ball and roll it as flat as you can.
  • Meanwhile heat a pan until it is quite hot.
  • Place the rolled out tortilla in the pan and cook for about 45 seconds to 1 minute or until it is bubbling and starting to brown.
  • Then turn it over and cook for another 45 seconds.
  • Place a clean cotton dishtowel on a plate.
  • As each tortilla comes out of the pan put it inside the towel and wrap them up.
  • I got 16 tortillas but my pan is small.
  • If you want bigger tortillas, make bigger balls of dough.

  1. Great recipe! I added in 1 t salt and 1 t baking powder for a little more taste and lightness and used regular whole wheat flour. I am using these with some Recipe #222519 to make Cheese Enchiladas tonight for our Olympic Around the World week menu. Thanks, ladypit!
     
  2. Great recipe I'm a diabetic and this tortillas are perfect for me.they're soft and I love them! Marylou
     
  3. Great tortillas once made but I found that 1 cup of water was not enough and then 1 1/2 cups was too much and I had to add heaps of flour to get the right consistency as it was so sticky. I would err on adding 1 cup of water and being VERY cautious with adding the rest.
     
  4. These were pretty dang good...especially hot off the pan! I'm keeping this recipe. Note to others: I tried to save a few to use with another recipe, but they got pretty stiff after being in the fridge, so my recommendation is eat 'em while they're hot! And with this recipe, it's not hard!
     
  5. Honestly, I pretty disappointed. I want to think I did something wrong along the way because this recipe has amazing reviews. I followed the recipe exactly to the point, but they turned bitter, you could taste the flour. I was looking forward to a nice dinner and it totally ruined it.
