This type of meal always goes down well in our house because everyone can pick their favourite things and leave what they don't like. The tortillas are home-made with spelt flour - we filled them with guacamole, home-made bean dip, tomatoes, salsa, olives, onions, lettuce and cucumber.
I prefer the spelt to wholewheat as it makes a thinner lighter tortilla. We used to buy commercial tortillas but it has become difficult to find any that are just simple vegan ingredients - when I see mono- and diglycerides on the packet, or anything else with a questionable source, it puts me off. Mine are just flour, baking powder, salt and water and are cooked in an ungreased pan so they're completely fat free.
Yum. This is one of our favourite meals too. I tried using brown spelt one time and every tortilla cracked and fell apart in our laps. So I've gone back to using mostly white spelt with a little brown thrown in. I buy my white spelt from Roger's but I think it's grown in Saskatchewan. Would love someone local to grind me some white! Do you have a good source for local spelt?
ReplyDeleteI bought my spelt flour from Nature's Fare in Kelowna...I think the last time I bought a "light" one but this time was whole grain and it wasn't at all crumbly. The tortillas held together perfectly.
