Simple Homemade Tortillas

4/27/2016

Today, I have a simple recipe to share that's a staple around here - tortillas!  With only 5 ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen, you can whip up delicious tortillas for tacos, egg wraps, quesadillas, or just a simple tortilla with cheese like my boys enjoy.  (Please note: I found this recipe online several years ago, and I couldn't find the site today to give credit.  If anyone knows where it comes from, I would be glad to give credit to the source.)  So, whet your Mexican taste buds & grab your rolling pin!

3 c flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup oil
1 cup hot water

Directions: Mix the dry ingredients.  Add the oil and mix until the mixture is crumbly.  Add the water to form a dough ball.  Let set for 30 minutes (or in the fridge overnight).  Divide into 12 small balls.  Roll out with a rolling pin, and fry in a dry skillet.


My notes: I use 1 cup of wheat flour and 2 cups of white flour.  The wheat flour does make them a bit more difficult to roll out; the dough is just a bit stiffer.  The water can just be hot water from your tap - no need to boil or anything.  I tried doubling this, and it works fine, but my arms were sore the next day from rolling out 24 tortillas.  Perhaps I'm just a bit wimpy, but 12 is a lot more doable.  Although, 12 will be gone in NO TIME once your family tries them.  I'm not sure why these are so much better than store-bought, but my guess is the lack of preservatives. On that note, I do store leftover ones in the fridge.

So, taco night, anyone?
