Homemade Tortillas

Have you ever checked the ingredients on the package of tortillas you pick up at the store, there is a ton of stuff in them, what's crazy is that this recipe only has 4 ingredients in them and one of them is water! I've made homemade tortillas before and they always turn out so good. The difference here is that these are super easy and just as tasty. The recipes is from my homegirls website ourbestbites.com. However I'm doing a diet game and I can't have white flour or shortening so I changed it up a bit and amazingly enough they turned out awesome! You can check their website out for pictures and their recipe but here is what I did.

2 1/2c of whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 c. olive oil

I mixed these ingredients up in the kitchen aid mixer using the dough hook, it'll be crumbly and I had to use a wooden spoon to help get everything mix. Then I added 1c. Hot water. I actually used a tad less then a cup and got hot water from the tap then stuck it in the microwave for a minute. I slowly added it to the mixture and used my spoon to help get everything mixed, it turned into a nice dough ball.

Next I preheated a skillet on medium heat (my level 5 of 10) I made 7 small dough balls and then rolled them out one at a time. I rolled it pretty thin, but not so thin you could see through them. They were super easy to roll which is the difference from other tortillas I've made where you roll them and they bounce right back. I cooked them for 40seconds on the first side, flipped them and cooked them for 20sec and they were perfect. I set the timer which I really suggest you do. Enjoy with all your favorite Mexican food!
