I'm skipping the blog prompt again today for a Plastic Free July post.
Today: More Adventures in Homemade Things!
I went through my list of things I want to make to have plastic free versions and picked a couple that are also fast to make. I chose coconut sour cream (also dairy free if that matters to anyone) and flour tortillas. The coconut sour cream didn't happen because I didn't plan ahead and put my can of coconut milk in the fridge the night before. But flour tortillas did!
Flour Tortillas
I saved all the almond gook from when I made almond milk and ground it into flour. So since the recipe said it only makes two tortillas, I made two batches. One with all flour and one with half almond flour which, I believe, is lower calorie.
Outcome:
- I think that the recipe I used had halved the ingredients but kept the directions because the amount of dough it made would be two very small tortillas or one normal sized one.
- The almond flour did not work great. The result was a very brittle tortilla which would be fine to use with a dip but won't fold well.
- Also instead of rolling them out I used my fingers to smoosh them into circles which made them too thick. I also might have used too much flour.
- They were tasty with some of my homemade ranch dip!
