Ingredients
 
 

  • 120 g flax seeds (crushed - or crush them yourself)
  • 300 g all-purpose flour
  • 80 g coconut oil melted
  • 200 ml water
  • 2 tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Melt the coconut oil in a small pot on medium heat
  • If you only have whole flax seeds you need to crush them. To make crushed flax seeds yourself, add them to your food processor and pulse for 10-30 seconds
  • Mix all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl - the crushed flax seeds, all-purpose flour and sea salt
  • Add the melted coconut oil and water to the dry ingredients and mix well
  • Place the mixed dough on your baking surface and knead your tortilla dough for 10-15 minutes until the dough is smooth and non-sticky
  • Divide the dough into twelve equal pieces and shape each piece into a small ball
  • Flour your baking surface - be generous with the flour. And use a rolling pin to shape each dough ball into a thin tortilla. Separate the tortillas with parchment paper. (See the recipe video for a visual explanation).
    You can also use a tortilla press if you have one, but to get the tortillas as thin as I want I prefer using a rolling pin
  • Bake your tortillas in a non-stick pan right away, or place the prepped tortillas (separated by baking sheets) in a plastic bag in your fridge and bake later the same day.
    If you go for the second option, take the bag with the tortillas out of the fridge about 20 minutes before baking them to allow them to get to room temperature
  • Pre-heat your non-stick pan to medium-high heat and bake each tortilla in the hot pan for about 20-30 seconds on each side. The first tortilla may take a little bit longer
  • Stack the cooked tortillas on top of each other on a plate to keep them warm and serve right away
