Are you ready to take taco Tuesday to the next level? If so try this easy flour tortilla recipe. I promise once you make your own tortillas you won’t want store bought ones again.
Below you will find my YouTube video that will walk you through step by step making your first batch of flour tortillas.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoons olive oil
DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, warm water and oil stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 3-5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for about 15-20 minutes.
Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
Cook each tortilla on the hot skillet for about 30-60 seconds on each side, until lightly browned and puffy.
Transfer the cooked tortillas to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the tortillas warm as desired, for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or other dishes. Enjoy!
