Healthy Flaxseed Wraps (Makes 10–11 regular-size wraps)
Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of warm water
• Seasonings to taste: sea salt, garlic powder, turmeric, oregano, cumin, etc.
• Olive oil (to grease your hands and parchment paper if needed)

Instructions:
1. Mix the dry ingredients:
In a bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with sea salt and your chosen spices.
2. Add the warm water gradually:
Stir well with a spoon until it becomes a thick dough. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes so the flaxseed absorbs the water and the dough firms up.
3. Divide into 10–11 equal portions.
Lightly grease your hands with olive oil if the dough is sticky.
4. Form the wraps:
Use parchment paper (greased if needed) and either your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each portion into thin wraps, about 7–8 inches (18–20 cm) wide.
5. Cook:
You can either:
• Bake them on a tray lined with parchment paper at 350°F (180°C) for 10–12 minutes, until they peel off easily.
• Or cook on a non-stick pan for 2 minutes per side, with or without a little oil.
6. Cool on a rack.
Store wrapped in cloth or paper, or refrigerate if you’re not using them right away.
