Homemade Tortillas
March 18, 2019
Rob
- Total time: 20 Minutes
- Servings: 8 Tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 Cup Water
- 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
Directions
- 1)
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in water and oil. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10-12 times, adding a little flour or water if needed to achieve a smooth dough. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- 2)
Divide dough into eight portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-in. circle.
- 3)
In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook tortillas over medium heat for 1 minute on each side or until lightly browned. Keep warm.
Notes
Tips:
- Other fats work in place of olive oil. Traditionalists use lard, but shortening or coconut oil can be used as well. Just cut it into the flour before kneading.
- Relax springy, hard-to-roll dough by resting it a few more minutes.
- The key to making tender tortillas – Keep a keen eye on them and adjust cooking time or temp as needed. If they’re too crisp, reduce heat a notch, or stop cooking a few seconds earlier.
- For homemade chips, cut tortillas into wedges and bake at 350°F until crisp. Add a touch of oil and seasonings of your choice, such as sea salt and chili powder.
