Super Grain & Nut Free Tortillas

< div class= " separator " style= " clear: both; " > There is a universal truth about giving up grain: It ' s DAMN hard. Whether you are paleo, low carb, keto or primal, a common thread is no grain. You may start out all cavalier and cocky thinking you won ' t miss grain, but a few days or weeks in and suddenly you remember bread, pasta, tortillas and you would claw your own eyes out for a piece of toast. I ' m not kidding. That is why it ' s so important to have some great subs on hand. These tortillas totally will quell your cravings and work amazing as a flour tortilla sub. I ' ve even had success with my totally grain eating hubby and kid eating and enjoying these. & nbsp; They are fabulous right out of the cast iron skillet and freeze very well. When reheating, I always recommend using a skillet, as that gives the best taste, but in a pinch, the microwave will work, or you can just eat them at room temperature. Up to you. My recipe is adapted from < a href= " http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/gluten-free-tortillas/ " target= " _blank " > Maria Emmerich ' s tortilla recipe. < /a > She uses almond flour or coconut flour in hers, however I wanted to reduce the fat and try and go nut free. I find coconut flour too sweet for my taste, so didn ' t want to use that either. Most people on these types of diets don ' t get too fussed about fat and calories, but for me, although I do not gain weight on a keto or low carb diet, I don ' t lose any either. So, for me, calories matter!...
