Homemade Tortillas (half whole wheat)
Servings 8 tortillas
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup white flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, avocado oil, or melted coconut oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions
- Mix the flours, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk.
- Add the oil, and stir and rub with your hands until it looks like sand.
- Add the warm water and mix until a soft dough forms. Add a little more water if needed, as whole wheat flour absorbs a lot.
- Knead the dough for a few minutes.
- Cut into 8 pieces, and let them rest for 20 minutes. I prepare my beans and toppings during this time.
- Coat each ball in flour to prevent sticking, then, roll out with a tortilla press or a rolling pin. Make them as thin and round as possible.
- Cook on a hot dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side, until golden brown. Keep warm under a towel until ready to eat.
