This quick and easy whole wheat sourdough tortilla wraps recipe is soft and high in protein, and only takes 5 minutes to make from start to finish. In addition to that, you can use up your sourdough starter! What’s not to love?
I invented this recipe when I was in a rush to go to my classes. I need carbs in the morning but unfortunately, there were very few ingredients left (I also used up all the oats!)
So I took out the sourdough starter, cracked an egg into it, and cooked it like a crepe. It’s super easy to wipe up, with no fancy ingredients. Needless to say I was able to get to class in time 🙂
Now, why should you make this recipe?
- High protein
- 2 main ingredients
- Easy and quick
- Healthy and whole grain
- Gut friendly
Ingredients and substitutions
Sourdough starter (preferably whole wheat) – this is the main ingredient and unfortunately there are no substations for this. HOWEVER if you really don’t have it, you can simply mix 5 parts of flour and 4 parts of water
Egg – whole eggs or egg whites. I personally like whole eggs because of the nutrition but egg whites are fine too
Optional: this recipe is a great way to sneak some spices and other foods, for example: collagen, cayenne pepper, nutritional yeast for a healthy cheesy flavour without the fat and salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and so much more
Q&A
How should I store these homemade high-protein sourdough wraps?
After cooking, let the wraps cool, and put them in a zip log bag with a piece of parchment paper separating each layer of wraps. I like to store them in the fridge for up to one week
Can I add seeds and herbs to the wraps?
Of course! Ground flaxseed and chia seed are very good choices as well. I love to add dried italian seasoning as well as cayenne pepper and garlic powder.
My batter is too thin/thick
The thickness of these wraps my vary depending on the flour and water ratio of your sourdough starter.
If it’s too thick, I suggest adding one more whole egg or egg white to it
As for batters that are too thin, add half a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches the ideal consistency
What does these wraps taste like and feel like?
These wraps are soft and have a pleasant sourdough flavour. They are not hard and are flexible. It’s also very satisfying when you pull it apart.
What can I serve this with?
Ham and cheese wraps, tortillas and roll-ups are just some examples of ideas to serve!
How can I store tortilla wraps?
First, let the wraps cool completely on a cooling rack. Then put the wraps into plastic zip bags, with a layer of parchment paper in between each tortilla. Zip tight and put the bag in the fridge for one week.

Tips & Tricks
- mix the better WELL. Even though some egg whites may not be a big problem, you don’t want to have a lumpy tortilla wrap with bits of sourdough inside!
- Spread the batter by tilting the pan to the sides is a great trick, but if the pan is already very not and the batter isn’t spread as much as you like, feel free to use a spatula to help spreading and evening out the batter
- let cool completely on a cooling rack to ensure the best texture and flexibility of the wrap
