Total Time 1 hour 50 minutes
Servings: 8 tortillas
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder until blended.
  2. Add the coconut oil, blending into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
  3. Add the warm water and mix with a spatula or your hands to form a soft dough.
  4. On a floured surface, knead dough until smooth (about five minutes).
  5. Place in bowl and cover with a damp cloth for 30 minutes, letting the dough rest.
  6. Divide dough into eight even balls.
  7. On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a flat circle using a rolling pin. If you have a tortilla press, you can use that instead. I recommend sprinkling fresh flour onto the surface for each tortilla, as they are very sticky.
  8. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the hot skillet and cook for about 30-45 seconds, until slightly browned. Flip the tortilla with a spatula and cook for another 30-45 seconds. Remove from heat. Repeat with each dough round until they are all cooked.
