Whole Wheat Tortillas

Whole Wheat Tortillas

Making delicious whole wheat tortillas at home is surprisingly easy! This recipe is perfect for taco night, or you can use these tortillas to make a simple vegetarian wrap.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until combined.

Add oil and stir until the oil is in small clumps throughout the mixture.

Add warm water to the flour mixture. Stir until a shaggy mass forms. If there is still a significant amount of dry flour in the bowl that  isn’t incorporated, add one tablespoon of water.

Once everything holds together, turn out onto a clean work surface and knead 5-7 times until smooth and soft.

Cover with plastic wrap or a damp dish cloth and allow to rest for 20-30 minutes. Cut dough into 12 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball between your hands.

On a very lightly floured surface, roll the ball out as thin as  possible, aiming for about 8” in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Once all the tortillas are ready, heat a cast iron pan or skillet over medium heat. Wait for the pan to get nice and hot (1-2 minutes) before  proceeding.

Cook tortillas one at a time. Cook the first side for 30-40 seconds until bubbles are beginning to form.

Flip and cook on the other side for 25-35 seconds until golden brown spots form. Remove from the pan and cover with a kitchen towel. Any bubbles that have formed will collapse as the  tortillas cool.
