Making tortillas at home is not only fun to do, but it’s delicious, and you have the benefit of knowing exactly what is going into your recipe.  I will be honest this is a little labor intensive work than I would like.  But the end results  but the end results are TOTALLY worth it and are for sure a game changer!!

Tortilla Ingredients:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup + 3 tbsp water

Here’s how to make Tortillas at home:

1. Whisk flour and garlic salt together in a bowl or standing mixer with the hook attachment
2. Pour in oil and mix in mixer or in a bowl with a wooden spoon (keeps from sticking)
3. Then add hot water slowly and stir until it forms a ball. If using a standing mixer this will not take long. Allow to knead for a minute
4. If using wooden spoon once ball is formed put on a floured surface and knead  (skip this if using a stand mixer)
5. After you complete the kneading step, put a towel over bowl from standing mixer or take dough and place in back into the bowl and place towel over let sit for 10 minutes
6. Cut into 12 balls (I just did this by hand)
7. Then flatten each ball and roll them out with rolling pin
8. Cook in warm skillet for a minute on each side (or until you see bubbles)

This seems like a lot of work but I promise once you make them a time or two they get easier and oh my they are delicious!!
