Yield Makes 8 large tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups all-purpose flour (or 3 cups all-purpose and 1 cup whole wheat)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup canola oil
1 1/2 cups warm water (or enough to make the dough the right consistency)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and 1/2 of the water. Mix together with your hands and continue adding water into the dough until it forms a solid ball, but is not too sticky. If necessary, add additional flour or water as needed. Knead the dough on a floured board for 5 minutes. Cut the dough in half and then in half again, continuing the process until you have 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, place them on a lightly floured surface, and cover with a damp towel.
  • Heat a griddle or cast iron pan to medium heat. Roll out the dough, one piece at a time to about 1/4 inch thickness. Place one round of dough on the griddle and cook on each side for about 30 seconds. Take care that the griddle is not too hot or the tortillas will scorch. Continue the process with the remaining 7 portions of dough.
  • The cooked tortillas will keep for two weeks in the refrigerator or up to six months in the freezer.

These tortillas didn't turn out well for me. They were too dry and crumbly.

The tortillas were a little too thick for my taste, but they still tasted good.

These tortillas are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.

I love that these tortillas are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier option than traditional white flour tortillas.

These tortillas are a great way to get your kids to eat more vegetables. Just add some chopped spinach or zucchini to the dough.

I've been making these tortillas for years and they never disappoint. They're always soft and pliable, and they taste great with any filling.
