You can make tortillas from other grains, not just wheat!

Now I've taken into consideration that some people have allergies to wheat, but there is hope yet! For instance, if you can't have a flour tortilla because you can't have the wheat, don't sweat it.

I know it can be a series of deprivations for those who are sensitive to wheat and gluten. Which can set you up to just binge on that wheat that is so harmful to your digestion. But don't let 'store bought' items catch you off guard, when you can prepare your own grains (kamut, spelt, millet) and make a whole grain spelt tortilla for easy and fast replacements to regular bread or wheat tortillas.

Find a good wheat recipe for tortillas and simply replace one grain for another. You may have to adjust the water in the recipe and pour in small amounts at a time into your freshly ground grain. The water absorption rate differs for different types of grain, so take your time and make sure you don't add too much water. We made spelt tortillas out of our freshly ground whole spelt grain flour not too long ago, and the kids actually preferred the spelt grain tortillas to the wheat grain ones!
