Instructions
Make the Homemade Tortillas
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, thyme, and salt.
- Add vegan butter or coconut oil, then pour in the hot water. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead 1–2 minutes on a floured surface until smooth. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide into 12–14 pieces and roll each into an 8-inch circle.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high. Lightly oil, then cook each tortilla for 30–60 seconds per side, until lightly golden. Keep warm under a towel.
Prepare the Apple & Onion Filling
- In a large skillet, melt coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and cook 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft.
- Add apples, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook another 5–7 minutes until apples are tender but not mushy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Savory Tortillas
- Warm your tortillas.
- Spoon apple-onion filling down the center of each tortilla.
- Top with yogurt, chopped herbs, and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce.
- Roll, fold, or serve open-faced. Enjoy!
Notes
Pro Tips
- Use crisp apples like Granny Smith or Pink Lady — they hold their shape and balance the sweetness.
- Caramelize slowly: low heat = deep flavor.
- Avoid sogginess: cool the filling slightly before wrapping.
- Gluten-free option: swap flour for a gluten-free blend and follow the same method.
- Storage: keep tortillas and filling separate; refrigerate up to 3 days.

Make-Ahead & Storage
- Make ahead: filling can be prepared up to 3 days in advance.
