Tortilla! Tortilla! Yum Yum Tortilla!

If you know the tune of the title for this post and now have the song stuck in your head, you are a dork just like me and watch too much Barney, just like me. If you don't know the song, turn on PBS Kids and I'm sure eventually you'll see Barney and friends singing about various bread products, tortillas being one of them. Which brings me to my point: Tortillas.

I wanted to make tacos for dinner about a week or so ago, and so I set out to find some natural, whole-wheat tortillas at my local grocery store. At first glance, I was pleasantly surprised to see so many different choices for whole-wheat tortillas. As I flipped over the first package that I grabbed to read the ingredients, I couldn't believe what I saw was in fact an ingredient list and not a complete written account of the history of the tortilla. There were so many ingredients (and not good ones, either)! I quickly ditched those tortillas and moved on to the next brand. Same thing. Next one. Same thing. Next one. Same thing. Are you kidding me?! I must have read over ingredient lists on about 6 different packages of whole-wheat tortillas before I found one that didn't take 10 minutes to read through. The best choice that I could find for unprocessed (well, least-processed) whole-wheat tortillas was the brand Ole Xtreme Wellness Whole Wheat Tortillas. While these tortillas do still contain bleached flour and other things that I cannot pronounce (or spell), the ingredient list was by far the smallest, and the processed ingredients in the list are apparently less than 2% of the product, so I figured they weren't all that bad. This was the best choice that I could find, but if you have discovered a better product, please let me know!

And that is just 1 more step in my process of going unprocessed.
