The 40 Calorie Flour Tortilla

I made some home made guacamole to go with these. They’re pretty easy to make and delicious!

Market Comparison:

In terms of cost, I’m not sure as I’ve never bought tortillas from the store… But I imagine they do not cost 1 cent per tortilla. Nutritionally, 1 Flour Mission Tortilla is 150 calories… These are about a FOURTH of that. :)

• .5 oz Water
• 1/4 Cup Flour
• 1/8 Teaspoon Baking Powder

2. Cover the dough with a wet towel or cloth for ~15 minutes.
3. Split dough into two balls. Roll into round shapes.

This is perfect, I assume it would work the same with wholewheat flour?
