For making these tortillas, it is most efficient to have two people: one person to roll out the dough, and one person to man the griddle.
3 1/2 C flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
7 T oil
1 C warm water
Directions:
1. Mix ingredients together.
2. Knead for 3 minutes.
3. Cover with clean cloth and let dough sit for 15 minutes.
4. Separate dough into 1" sized portions (12-18).
5. Form each piece into a small ball.
6. Cover and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
7. Heat griddle on medium-high.
8. Roll out one ball into flat, round tortilla shape.
9. Place first piece of dough on hot griddle.
10. Once bubbles form, flip tortilla.
11. Tortilla will bubble up while cooking; flatten with spatula.
12. Heat until tortilla is golden brown on each side.
13. Continue rolling dough and cooking tortillas one at a time.
14. Enjoy the tortillas hot off the griddle!
Serves 4-6.
I just tried these and they were delicious!!! (ahhh..quesadillas are such a comfort food). Tastes just like the ones I buy at Trader Joe's -- but fresher!
ReplyDeleteI made 1/2 a recipe and got 7 tortillas. I only used 1/2 C white flour and then did 1 1/4 C of white whole wheat flour to boost the fiber. Thanks for the recipe.
Q: What's the best way to store the leftovers?
I'm glad that you liked them!
ReplyDeleteA: I would recommend wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and then in a plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator for maximum freshness!
