Ingredients

3/4 cup millet flour
1/3 cup flaxseed meal
2/3 cup water (more, if needed)
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, whisk the millet flour, flaxseed meal, and (optional) salt, until blended.
Add the water to the bowl, stirring until combined. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken and then shape dough into a ball (it will feel firm and moist, but not wet. Add more flaxseed meal if too wet; add a bit more water if too dry).
Cut, or otherwise divide, the dough into 5 equal pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a ball.
Place one dough ball between two large pieces of plastic wrap, wax paper or parchment paper. Using a rolling pin or tortilla press, roll or press into a 6-inch (15 cm) circle. Carefully peel off top layer of plastic wrap or paper.
Place tortilla, dough side down, into nonstick skillet and carefully peel off second piece of wrap/paper.
Cook the tortilla for 2 to 4 minutes until it bubbles up a little bit in a few places and releases easily when lifted with a spatula. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes longer.
Transfer tortilla to a metal cooling rack and repeat with remaining pieces of dough.
The tortillas are delicious warm, room temperature, or cold.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled tortillas in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 2 days, the refrigerator for 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 6 months.

Grind Your Own Millet Flour: a high speed blenders will turn millet into millet flour in about a minute. If using a coffee grinder, you will need to grind about 1/4 cup at a time (it goes quickly). Place any extra flour in an airtight bag or container and freeze until next time. Unfortunately, food processors do not work for grinding whole millet into fine flour.
