Healthy Homemade Pizza Tortillas for Hypoglycemia

I first made these tortillas when my brother Alan came to visit us in Miami. I had bought tortillas for the fajitas I had made, but knew I didn't have enough. I made these tortillas and they were a hit! Because of the whole wheat flour, the tortillas are a little thicker. You can make a batch of these and save them in the fridge for a quick tasty snack or as an accompaniment to dinner. The whole wheat and lower carb count helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels if you have hypoglycemia, diabetes, or other blood sugar problems. Plus, it's delicious to boot!
