Homemade Vegan Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas Recipe

Homemade Vegan Whole wheat flour tortillas recipe. These are also the very same Indian Chapathis, commonly called as rotis (flat breads) that becomes a part of the staple meal of many households across India that is usually served with dal or any veg or non veg curry.

These homemade Mexican Tortillas are made with 100% Whole wheat flour and they are also Vegan.

Making these at home is not only healthy but much more economical as well as you know what goes into them and when made this way, they are just full of fibre and protein.

Mexican Tortillas are used as a base for making recipes like Fajitas, burritos, quesadillas, nachos and you can also make Mexican pizzas with this as the base.

You can just stuff them with anything that you have on hand and it can be turned into a fun cooking project along with kids to make wraps or rolls.

You can always use a hand mixer or food processor to knead the dough, though I prefer hand kneading.

These can be made before hand and they also freeze well. All you have to do is thaw it before using and heat them a little.

Some Important Notes:

1. While dusting do not use too much flour and do not roll them out very thin as they will become crisp and hard upon cooking instead of being soft.
2. You can let the dough rest anywhere between 20 mins to 1 hour but make sure you keep the bowl closed tightly as the dough will dry out when exposed to air around it.
3. If you are going to eat it 1 or 2 hour after making them, then stack one on top of the other, place the stack in a clean cloth and roll along with the cloth like you roll a mat and place it in a hot case.
4. Using oil to cook the tortillas is optional.
