Serves: 8 tortillas
Prep time: 10 minutes
Rest time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour (or GF alternative)
1 cup whole wheat flour (or skip this and use 2 cups all-purpose flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tsp unsalted butter or vegan alternative
1/2 - 1 cup water
vegetable oil
These tortillas get an A++. Not only are they simple to make, but they taste so fresh. I can seriously taste them through this screen. Don't have a rolling pin? Use an old jar to roll them out (I did this a few times... before buying the pictured rolling pin).
I have made them with gluten-free flour and vegan spread (butter) successfully. They are a bit tender to flip, but overall they are indistinguishable from the original.
Messy to make? Slightly. Quickly though? Definitely. I had three hungry and tired kids who were happy to wait patiently whilst I made them for dipping our chili one cold winter night. It was the perfect hearty addition. They also hold up as taco shells and are great for reheating (if you somehow manage to have leftovers).
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour (or GF alternative)
1 cup whole wheat flour (or skip this and use 2 cups all-purpose flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tsp unsalted butter or vegan alternative
1/2 - 1 cup water
vegetable oil
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
2. Add the butter, and work it into the flour until fully incorporated.
3. Add the water, a few tbsps at a time, working it in with your hands until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough until no longer sticky (1-3 minutes).
5. Divide the dough into 6-8 even-sized balls and set aside for 10-20 minutes to rest.
6. On a floured surface, roll the dough as thin as possible in a circular shape.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat and add about 1/2-1 tsp vegetable oil. Carefully transfer the tortilla to the skillet and cook until puffy and golden on both sides (1-2 minutes each side).
8. Repeat steps 6 & 7 until all the tortillas are cooked.
9. Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container in the fridge.
