Easy Tortillas (makes 12-14)
Got this recipe from MAHM blogger, easy recipe and soaks the flour...kids love it, I use this recipe for many things, am finding left overs can be tricky though...
Mix flour and salt together. Slowly blend in the water, until the dough comes together in a shaggy ball. Let soak at room temperature for 6-8 hours.
Add in the butter in small chunks (or other fat) and then cut into the batter with a fork or pastry cutter.
Roll dough into 12-14 equal sized balls. The smaller they are, they smaller your tortillas will be when rolled, and easier to work with.
Let these rest for about 10-15 minutes. To avoid sticking, you will want to oil them slightly.
After the dough is done resting-

- 2 cups Unbleached Flour
- 3/4 teas. kosher salt
- 3 Tablespoons EVCO (extra virgin coconut oil), lard, or butter sounds weird but we like the taste of EVCO
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup cool water
- 2 teaspoons of acid medium- apple cider vinegar, but lemon juice or even whey would work fine.
Mix flour and salt together. Slowly blend in the water, until the dough comes together in a shaggy ball. Let soak at room temperature for 6-8 hours.
Add in the butter in small chunks (or other fat) and then cut into the batter with a fork or pastry cutter.
Roll dough into 12-14 equal sized balls. The smaller they are, they smaller your tortillas will be when rolled, and easier to work with.
Let these rest for about 10-15 minutes. To avoid sticking, you will want to oil them slightly.
After the dough is done resting-
- you will need to roll out the balls into circles, approximately 1/16 inch think, or as thin as you can get them.
- I find this is easiest if the surface, dough, and your rolling pin are all well-floured.
- Roll out the dough about halfway, then flip it to further reduce sticking.
- I roll all the dough out at once, then cook them.
- If you do this make sure not to put the tortillas on top of each other because they will stick.
- I lay mine out on a baking sheet with towels in between the layers.
To cook,
- simply turn a dry pan (I use a cast iron skillet to ensure they do not stick) to medium low
- place the dough in.
- After 1-2 minutes, flip and cook for another minute.
These can be used in any dish where
you would normally use purchased tortillas.
