Recipe: Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas

Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas

12 tortillas
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 tablespoon warm water

Combine flours and salt. Mix water and oil; stir into flour mixture to make a soft dough. Divide dough into 12 even pieces. Shape each into a small ball. Coat palms with remaining oil. Roll each ball in oiled hands. Place in a bowl and cover with a cloth or plastic wrap. Let stand about 15 min.

Preheat an ungreased frypan. Shape each ball into a very flat 4-inch round patty. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 6-inch circle. Cook each round on preheated frypan until bubbles form on top, and underside is flecked with brown but not too crisp and still flexible.

Stack cooked tortillas, cover with a dry cloth towel. Serve immediately or reheat in 350F oven before serving.
