homemade tortillas

homemade deliciousness!

these tortillas are so good.

Do you think they love all things homemade, handmade and found?

You betcha, just like me!

we had them with chicken fajitas, homemade pinto beans, sauteed veggies which consited of onions, peppers, and zucchini. 

The recipe came from Breadbeckers and was slightly adapted by Chick 2

Oh yeah, guess who helped make them?

I need one of these homemade contraptions!  Love it!! My old tin one is not cutting it anymore! LOL. I could use a little helper to step on it too! 

try them!

                                Tortillas

2-3 cups freshly milled wheat flour 

 1 cup warm water

2TBS Lecithin (optional)                  

¼ tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt                                           

¼ cup oil

Measure liquids into mixing bowl.  Add dry ingredients, kneading in the flour until the dough is workable but not too stiff.  Let stand 10 minutes.  Shape into 8-10 balls and let stand for 10 more minutes.  Roll very thin to form a 10 inch circle or use a tortilla press.  Bake on a lightly greased griddle till done (not too browned).  These are as much fun to make as they are to eat. For extra flavor either baste the dough before pressing with a few spices or an olive oil dipping sauce.

*****Instead of putting in 3 cups of flour- we used 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of corn meal.  In my opinion this definitely improved the flavor and texture.
