Introduction

Delicious, healthy alternative to store bought tortillas. These are wonderful and they keep well in a zipper bag, in the refrigerator. Great for a quick breakfast or lunch wrap.

Ingredients

    1.5 Cups whole wheat flour
    1.5 Cups white flour
    4 Tbsp. shortening
    1.25 Cups warm water
    1 Tsp. salt
    2 Tsp. Baking powder

Directions

Combine dry ingredients. Cut in shortening either with a pastry knife or by hand. Add water slowly, to form a non-sticky dough. Amount of water needed may vary due to humidity, etc so start slowly. Dough should be able to be handled without sticking to the hands. Knead just enough to combine and form a smooth dough. Break off 12 equal size portions and roll into balls. Cover and let rest at least 10 minutes. After dough has rested, roll out into circles, approximately 8 inches. Dough should be fairly thin. You can make less tortillas and make them larger if you like. Heat griddle to medium high heat (or best is a cast iron pan). Put tortilla into pan and allow to cook until light brown specks appear. Flip tortilla and cook the other side the same way. It is ok if bubbles appear, these will go down when the tortilla cools. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
