Homemade Flour Tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cups Water
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour and salt together
- Then add in the water and oil
- Mix it until a ball forms, then kneed for a minute or two
- Wrap the ball of dough in plastic wrap and set on the counter for 30 minutes to an hour.
- On a large cutting board or clean counter, dust the surface with flour.
- Put a frying pan on the stove over medium high heat (do not oil the pan)
- Cut your dough ball into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a small ball in your palms.
- Working one by one, take a dough ball, squish it flat between your palms.
- Then may it one your floured surface and dust the top with flour, using a rolling pin, (or a straight metal/glass water bottle, or wine bottle, etc.) roll the dough into a thin round disk about 8 inches across.
- Your pan should be hot now, dust any excess flour from your tortilla and lay it in the pan.
- After about a minute, it should start to bubble and be golden brown, using tongs, flip the tortilla and cook the other side for about a minute.
- Remove from the pan and wrap in a damp clean dishcloth.
- Repeat with the remaining 7 dough balls, you can roll the next one out while the current one is cooking.
Notes
*If they start cooking too fast, don’t be afraid to take your pan off the heat for a minute and turn your burner temp down.
