FAT FREE WHOLE WHEAT TORTILLAS

Fat Free Whole Wheat Tortillas image

I wanted tortillas to go with tonight's dinner but was out of them. So I went searching for a recipe that did not contain any fat. I found this one, and tweaked it a bit, in one of my favorite cookbooks "500 Fat Free Recipes." My husband could not get enough of them. We dipped them into soup and made bean burritos out of them.

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 -1 1/2 cup water

Steps:

In a large bowl combine the flour and 1 cup of water.
Mix well.
If it needs more water to get to a dough stage, then add.
On a floured surface knead the dough until it is soft.
Make it into balls (12-16 depending on size).
Then flour a board well.
Take each ball and roll it as flat as you can.
Meanwhile heat a pan until it is quite hot.
Place the rolled out tortilla in the pan and cook for about 45 seconds to 1 minute or until it is bubbling and starting to brown.
Then turn it over and cook for another 45 seconds.
Place a clean cotton dishtowel on a plate.
As each tortilla comes out of the pan put it inside the towel and wrap them up.
I got 16 tortillas but my pan is small.
If you want bigger tortillas, make bigger balls of dough.

Yield 12 tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
1 1/4 cups hot water

Steps:

In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well. Add fat-free mayonnaise and use pastry blender (or fork) and blend until flour mixture appears to be coarse throughout.
Add hot water and stir well. Knead in extra flour. Cover and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
Set iron griddle over medium to medium-high heat. Tear off a piece of dough, roll into a ball (approximately 2 1/2-inches).
On well-floured board, roll dough out into a circular flat form as thin as possible (less than 1/8-inch thickness) approximately 6 inches in diameter. Add more flour if dough is sticky.
Place tortilla on heated griddle and allow it to bubble slightly. Heat for approximately 1-2 minutes.
Flip tortilla and brown other side approximately 1 minute longer. If tortilla has browned in variable spots and does not have a dough-like texture, then it is done.

Tips:

If you don't have a tortilla press, you can use a rolling pin to roll out the dough.
To make sure the tortillas are cooked evenly, cook them over medium heat.
If the tortillas start to bubble, reduce the heat and cook for a few more minutes.
Once the tortillas are cooked, wrap them in a damp cloth to keep them soft and pliable.
