Spelt Tortillas

For those who are sensitive to wheat and gluten, it can be a series of depravations that can set you up to just binge on that wheat that is so harmful to your digestion. Don't let 'store bought' items catch you off guard, when you can prepare your own grains (spelt, kamut, 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 the other day, and the kids actually prefer the spelt grain tortillas to the wheat grain ones!
