Einkorn Tortillas, A Delicious Wrap
If you’re like me, you often prefer a wrap over a piece of bread. That’s why I searched and tested until I had this simple, yet most delicious, recipe for einkorn farro tortillas.
Fresh Einkorn Tortillas Ready to Cook
We use tortillas to make wraps filled with all the usual suspects – quinoa, beans, lettuce, salsa, avocado, and cheese. And here’s a secret for which you may (or may not) thank me: these tortillas make for especially tasty quesadillas.
This tortilla recipe is fast and easy to make. You can see my simple instructions and ingredients list under our recipes page here: Einkorn Tortillas Recipe. If you do have questions, feel free to contact us because getting them just right is a bit of an art.
When we make tortillas, we usually prepare large batches (40 or more). We press and cook (on the griddle) some from that batch immediately but we freeze the rest (after pressing them but before cooking them). Some people may put parchment or wax paper between each tortilla before freezing but that is not necessary…thaw them on the counter top then warm them thoroughly in the oven, and they will come apart beautifully so you can cook them on the griddle.
These are the best wraps. Einkorn works especially well (outside the nutritional benefits) because it is so soft, and the flavor is incredible!

Non-Electric 8" Cast-Iron Tortilla Press
We’re of the essential/simplistic flavor so we have an electric and an 8-inch cast-iron (non-electric) tortilla press.
If you try my tortilla recipe, leave a comment below and let me know how it turned out for you. I love hearing about your experiences!
I’m interested in trying this. How does the cast iron press work vs the electric?
Do you use anything to keep the batter from sticking? Do you grind your own flour?
I enjoy a maximally raw food diet but I like a wrap (other than collard) occasionally. After reading Wheat Belly I figured einkorn was the way to go.
Thanks for your help.

We do grind our own flour. I have not used the cast iron press but it looks like it would be very nice. I am looking for a 10″ and then I’ll buy it. I think you put it on the stove top to keep it warm. You could do the same over the fire, I believe.
We are making our own tortilla press. I found a how to guide. I love it! Einkorn tortilla’s here we come!
How did you make the tortilla press, Valerie?
