homemade tortillas

Whole Wheat Tortillas
 2 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c oil (I used avocado oil)
1 tsp salt
1 c warm water

Directions:
1.  In a mixer, add the flour, oil, and salt.  Mix for 3-5 minutes or until crumbly.
2.  With the mixer running, gradually add the water, mixing for 3 minutes.
3.  Take out the dough and roll it into a log.  You're going to cut this into 12 slices.  I cut it in half and then go from there.  
4.  Using your hands, roll each piece into a ball.  Place on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap.  Let come to room temperature for about 15 minutes up to 1 hour.
5.  Head a 12 inch skillet on medium-high heat.  
6.  On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin and roll each ball into a 8 to 10  inch flat circle.  
7.  Grease the pan with a bit of oil.  Carefully cook each tortilla one at a time until puffy brown, about 30-45 seconds on each side.  Enjoy! 


These were really filling so we only ate 3!  I wrapped up the rest and popped in the freezer.  Just defrost before dinner and reheat.
