Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt (if using), and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
- Add the Miracle Whip and hot water to the dry ingredients.
- Mix well until a dough forms.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more flour and knead for about 20 minutes until smooth.
- Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into six equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a thin tortilla shape.
- Cook each tortilla on a hot griddle until lightly browned on both sides.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best results, ensure your water is hot but not boiling, as this helps create a pliable dough. If you want to reduce calories further, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Additionally, if you don't have Kraft Free Miracle Whip, a similar fat-free mayonnaise can work as a substitute without altering the flavor too much.
Serving Suggestions
These fat-free flour tortillas are perfect for wrapping around your favorite fillings, like grilled chicken or veggies. Serve them alongside Salt-Free Salsa for a refreshing dip. They also pair well with Mex Rice or can be used to make delicious burritos and quesadillas. Consider adding fresh herbs for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover tortillas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them in a single layer, separated by parchment paper, for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm them in a skillet or microwave until pliable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these tortillas gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to adjust the liquid accordingly, as gluten-free flours can absorb water differently. You may also want to add a binder, such as xanthan gum, to help with the texture.
How can I make these tortillas more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor of your tortillas, consider adding spices like cumin or garlic powder to the flour mixture. You could also mix in some finely chopped herbs or nutritional yeast for an additional layer of taste.
What if my tortillas are too thick?
If your tortillas turn out thicker than desired, simply roll them out more before cooking. You can also adjust the cooking time, cooking them a bit longer on the griddle to get them to the desired texture. Practice makes perfect!
