I made this with vanilla greek yogurt and it was not disappointing. My 2 year old absolutely loved them.

Interesting! I bet you could add a little butter and cinnamon sugar to make it a sweet tortilla. Just like my mama used to make <3

Have you made these with other flours? If you use almond flour, would you need an egg?

Hi Gina! I have not, but you probably will need an egg since it doesn't have gluten and that's what gives it the structure. If you try it, let me know how it goes! I'd love to develop a gluten free version eventually!
