Home made tortillas.....Si Senior!

I will never buy store bought tortillas again!  These soft, fresh tortillas took no effort to make at all.    They freeze well in a large ziplock bag, if they last......they also keep well refrigerated for several days.

I used white flour, but by all means, feel free to use whole wheat.


Homemade Flour Tortillas

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp salt
1 1/3 cup warm water

1. In a medium sized bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add oil and warm water, stirring to combine. Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for about 3 minutes, until dough is smooth. Divide dough into equal pieces, rolling each piece into a ball about the size of a tennis ball.   Allow to rest, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 30 minutes.

2. Once dough has rested, preheat pan  over medium-high heat.   Roll out each ball into a circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Cook one at a time in the hot pan, when it starts to puff and a few brown spots have appeared its time to flip it over.  Cook other side for about another minute.

ENJOY!
