These Healthy tortillas are vegan and made with oat and whole wheat flour. You can make a big batch to eat with dinner or meal-prep them for later. You are going to love their nutty flavor!

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients: oat flour, whole wheat flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and mix with a whisk until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
When ready, add the lukewarm water and olive oil. Remember, mix and fold with a nonstick spatula (do not use your hands, this dough is too sticky!). This will help void adding additional flour and water. Knead for two minutes.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap for 45 minutes and no longer than an hour. The dough will not double in size. The goal is to relax the dough.
Transfer the dough to a nonstick surface. Do not add flour to the surface. Shape the dough into somewhat of an oval and cut it into 6 pieces. Each piece should fit inside a ⅓ measure cup. Now let's roll out the dough into tortilla wrap-like shapes.
Place the ball of dough onto a piece of parchment paper large enough to where you can roll out a nice circle size wrap. Try your best to make a nice circle. If unable to, you still tried and still deserve a pat on the back. Now let's cook each one.
Put a nonstick pan over low heat. Do not add oil. Lay the rolled dough on the bottom of the pan. As I mentioned a few times, cover the pan with a lid and cook, as I mentioned a few times, on low for 1-2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook with the lid on for another minute or so. If you have dark blisters, you know the heat is too high.
Finally, transfer each one to a bowl and wrap them with a cloth towel. This will help keep them moist and soft without the excess condensation that might make them soggy.
Repeat until you have made all of your delicious flatbread tortillas.
Enjoy once they have thoroughly cooled down, or they will not be as pliable. Serve with dinner or use as a wrap to any of your favorite chicken salad sandwiches.
Notes
To make oat flour simply add 1 cup of rolled oats into a high-speed blender and process until a flour-like consistency forms (about 1-2 minutes). After transferring the oat flour to a bowl, I like to break up any lumps that develop during the process.
