Soft Wholegrain Spelt Tortillas (just 4 ingredients)

My kids love tortillas but I don’t like the crap added to the store bought versions. One way to keep your kids happy and your mum’s good conscience intact is to make these wholegrain spelt tortillas. They are super soft and made with only four ingredients. 

These wholegrain spelt tortillas are so versatile, too. You can stuff them with your favourite Mexican ingredients. Use them as a wrap (as in these pictures), adding chicken and salad to make a quick, awesome lunch. Or even make into your own, homemade baked tortilla chips (recipe to follow) to dip into a fresh tzatziki dip. Check out these ten cool things to do with tortillas for more inspiration.

As delicious as these are, one thing niggles me a little. They weren’t round. It doesn’t matter what I make whether it is bread, pies, cookies or whatever else, I just can not get things completely round. Who cares though? Let’s call them rustic, shall we? Yes, let’s.

In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone.
