This new tortilla recipe I tried is WONDERFUL! They are super simple to make too! Kids love to get in on the fun. I haven't tried making them in bulk and freezing them but I would like to try it eventually so I can have tortillas on hand. These are much healthier and much tastier than the ones you buy in the store!
We love to make bean tacos out of them with homemade refried beans and homemade salsa!
2 C. flour (I use 1 C. of whole wheat and 1 C. unbleached all-purpose) Experiment with other flours if you like.
2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1/4 C. olive oil
3/4 C. cold water
Mix all but the water in a mixing bowl. Add water gradually.
Knead dough until smooth.
Divide pieces of dough into pieces of dough the size of a small egg.
Roll flat with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Cook in ungreased frying pan for 1-2 minutes on each side. (Medium heat)
Wrap in a dishtowel to keep them soft and foldable. Eat immediately or store in refrigerator until ready to use.
Hi - I'm Melanie, and I stumbled upon your blog some time ago. I've really enjoyed reading it! I wanted to let you know that I make this same recipe, but I add a little bit of natural honey. Sometimes I throw in some flax seeds, too, for added fiber :)
ReplyDeletei am definitely gonna try this! thanks for thr recipe!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI need to try this. I keep saying that I am going to make my own, but I never had. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHola! Thanks for sharing this! I have a recipe that I use occasionally, but I'd like to try something else, and this endorsement has sold me! We make ours on an electric griddle, and it is pretty slick. I can't wait until my kids get old enough to get in on the process, so it's not just me trying to do it while entertaining Isaac and dancing with Simon holding onto my leg. I might make such things more often then. Ole!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I'm glad you have the energy for these projects. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I want to try this. I was just thinking the other day that I could do mexican, but I had no tortillas! And Merideth said she uses the electric griddle, which appeals to me. Oh the JOY of having my own kitchen again!!!
