I grew up
in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have so many childhood memories of
my grandmother making beans, chile and especially her homemade tortillas.
I decided to try to modify her recipe to make oat flour tortillas for
Cody.
The first
one was a disaster, but I kept making changes until I finally managed to make a
tortilla that really looked and felt like a tortilla. My husband and I used
them to make chicken tacos and they actually stayed in one piece! Oh, and Cody
loves them. He calls them toto cookies!
I'm so
happy with these I can hardly contain myself and I think Grandma would have
been proud.
Enjoy!
