Whole Wheat Tortillas

These are so easy and fun to make!  We love having these when we are on our Daniel Fast!  I often have with some hummus (recipe coming), soup, make black bean tacos, possibilities are endless.  

 

Ingredients:

2     cups whole wheat flour

½     teaspoon salt
2     tablespoons olive oil
½     cup warm water
Preparation:

1. Mix flour and salt in bowl.
2. Add olive oil and stir until well combined.
3. Add warm water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
4. Knead dough on floured board for about 3 minutes (20 folds).
5. Allow dough to rest for 15 minutes (this is called resting)
6. Roll dough into sausage-shape and then cut into 12 equal parts (cut in half, then in half again, then each part into thirds) and shape into little ball
7. With a rolling pin, roll each little ball into a tortilla (for best results, roll out from the center and outward).
8. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas  in a dry stick-free pan for about 30 seconds on each side for soft tortillas or longer for crisp tortillas.
9. Keep tortillas warm by placing in a tortilla holder or wrap in a kitchen towel
