Free Recipe: Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas

6 servings
1/2 c Flour 1 tb Vegetable oil
1/2 c Whole wheat flour 6 tb Warm water
1/4 ts Salt

Combine flours and salt. Mix water and 2 ts oil, stir into flour
mixture to make a soft dough. Divide dough into 12 even pieces.
Shape each into a small ball. Coat palms with remaining oil. Roll
each ball in oiled hands. Place in a bowl and cover with a cloth or
plastic wrap. Let stand about 15 min.

Preheat an ungreased frypan. Shape each ball into a very flat 4"
round patty. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 6 in circle.
Cook each round on preheated frypan until bubbles form on top, and
underside is flecked with brown but not too crisp and still flexible.

Stack cooked tortillas, cover with a dry cloth towel. Serve
immediately or reheat in 350F oven before serving.

Cut in wedges and crisp to make chips for dips or serve with melted
cheese and chilies as nachos.

Reviewed on Jan. 1, 2008 by Colleen    This is my first review, and I'm happy to report it's a great one! I added a few ingredients, namely a few additional garlic cloves, a small handful of minced ginger, a can of Rotel tomatoes, and some dried basil and oregano. Also, instead of using canned black-eyed peas, I used dried, and pressure cooked them beforehand (took only 10 minutes). Served with avocado slices. What a great way to start out the New Year!

15 users found this review helpful This is my first review, and I'm happy to report it's a great one! I added a few ingredients,... This is another favorite in our home. I use a pound of dried black eyed peas, soak them, cook them, and then adjust the recipe accordingly. We each eat 2-4 of these for dinner, then have leftovers for a couple days. (They are even better the next day!) I've made them with & without smoke seasoning. I like them with, but it is great either way. I also choose to use corn tortillas, but again that is just a personal choice. (If you DO use corn tortillas, you need to heat each of them on a very hot skillet before using them.)
