Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chia seeds, flaxseeds, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Stir the dry ingredients until they are well mixed.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the water and olive oil.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients together to form a dough. If the mixture is too dry, add additional water, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

Step 7

Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Place a tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 30 to 45 seconds on each side, or until small brown spots appear and the tortilla puffs slightly.

Step 10

Remove the tortilla from the skillet and place it on a clean kitchen towel. Cover the cooked tortilla to keep it warm and pliable.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
