Tortilla recipe?

 

 

Anyone have a recipe (and direction)for making tortillas? I am sure

they would taste better than the store bought ones. I would also like

to use wheat flour and they do not make wheat flour tortillas in the

extra large size (that I can find). I remember having a home made

tortilla made by our neighbors as a child and it was the best burrito

I ever had.

Thanks!!

I make my own tortillas with home-ground whole flour. Here it is:

 

4 cups whole wheat flour (I use 3 cps hard white wheat,1 cup soft

white wheat)

1 1/2 cups of warm water

1/2 cup vegetable shortening (I've tried other more 'healthy " oils,

but they don't work as well)

1 1/2 tsp salt

 

That's it.

I put it in on the pizza dough cycle of my bread maker, but you

obviously don't have to.

 

I make approximately 2 " balls, and flatten them in a tortilla maker

(cook them there too). If you do this by hand, roll them out as this

as you can on a lightly floured surface.

 

You can cook them on a griddle for about 2 minutes per side or until

lightly browned.

As for the shortening, you can use palm oil, it is hard at room temperature, and

works just like it!  And best of all, it's not hydrogenated, so no trans fat!

 

I have found it very cheaply in the baking section of the grocery store next to

the conventional shortenings, the kind I get is labeled as " Shortening, No Trans

Fat " .  Check the ingredient list, it should say Palm oil.

 

Thanks for the tortilla recipe....I gotta get crackin' making these! ha!
