Stuff It, Cram It, Pack It, Fill It

Tortillas are a beautiful thing, you can do just about anything with them. I could probably go on for days about what I have packed a tortilla with.

First off, you need to have the whole wheat tortilla recipe. It's fat free and delicious:

Don't be overwhelmed - it is SUPER simple & takes me now only about 15 minutes from start to finish.

3 cups whole wheat flour
1-1 1/2 cups warm water

Mix ingredients, starting with the lesser amount of water first then add as it's needed.

Once mixed, roll with hands into a long rope and cut dough into desired amount of tortillas wanted. (Obviously bigger pieces for larger tortillas).

Once cut, roll into balls then...

Flour your work surface lightly & roll the tortillas out with a rolling pin.

Heat up a non-stick skillet until it is screaming hot & add tortillas in one by one. Once it starts to bubble & turn brown (about 1 minute) turn over & do the same for about 30 seconds careful not to overcook it as it will harden.


My new favorite thing to do with a tortilla?

PB & Banana Breakfast Wrap

1 banana
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons peanut butter

Spread peanut butter over tortilla, slice banana lengthwise and place over peanut butter. Drizzle with honey & roll up.

YUM YUM YUM

Stay tuned for other ideas for tortillas...
