Homemade Flour Tortillas
This is a fun recipe to make-perfect for burritos.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup water
1 tsp. oil
In a large bowl, mix together both flours and salt with a whisk. Mix the water and oil in a small cup and slowly add just enough to make a soft dough. If you find the dough to be sticky, add a bit more flour. Knead 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a towel and let rest 20 minutes. Make 10 balls of dough and roll each into a thin 10" circle. Cover the tortillas with a damp towel to avoid drying out. Cook on a medium-hot griddle. 10 tortillas
