Vegan Spelt and Maize Tortillas

I made these super simple tortillas for supper tonight. With only 3 ingredients you can't go wrong. I spread vegan sour cream on the tortilla, then put some cut up raw salad veggies and vegan shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped green onion and chopped tomatoes in the tortilla. I sprinkled a few drops of Tabasco sauce on mine because I like the taste of it. This recipe makes quite a few tortillas, so we will have Chicken Breakfast Burritos in the morning. I have some Hopi corn that we grew last summer and I made it into the maize meal. Don't use corn meal or polenta from the store, you need to use maize meal. These will keep for about a week in the fridge. If they do get stale they can be torn into bit sized pieces and fried in oil until crisp, or bake them with some seasoning on them. Show more
