Vegan Spelt Tortillas

I’ve always been underwhelmed by tortillas.  Although I love the idea of them (they are after all useful for wraps, burritos, quesadillas, and other delicious meals), they are often dry, stale, and flavorless.  So I began scouring the internet looking for easy to make options.  I shouldn’t have been surprised to find the winning recipe on the vegan blog, Oh She Glows.  The tortillas have a light, sweet flavor and are delicious whether eaten alone or accompanied by toppings and fillings!


First, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, salt, and baking soda).

Then add the olive oil and hot water and mix until combined.

Form the dough into golf sized balls and flatten slightly into patties.

Roll out each patty into a thin circle (don’t worry about making it perfect!).

Lightly coat the tortilla with olive oil and place the tortilla oil side down on the skillet.

Cook each side until golden.

Stack tortillas on a plate….

And fill with delicious ingredients!  If you’re like me, you won’t be able to stop making these.  They just seem to go perfectly with every meal!
