Homemade Tortilla Wraps
Quick and Easy, Soft Homemade Tortilla Wraps. You won't use store bought again
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 3 cups cake flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1&1/2 cup hot water
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the flour, salt and baking powder. Rub in the oil
- Add the hot water and mix until it forms a soft dough. Knead for 3 to 4 minutes. At first the dough will seem a little sticky but as you knead it will become silky smooth. If it's still too sticky add a little sprinkling of flour, if too dry add a little more water.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Make them into neat round balls, flatten them with your hands and place them on a flat tray or plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes
- After 15 minutes, heat a pan on medium to high heat. Roll out the dough on a lightly dusted flat surface and roll them out as thin or thick as you prefer.
- Dry-fry over a medium-high heat for 20 seconds, pressing lightly with a spatula. Flip over and cook the other side for a further 20 seconds, or until the tortilla is cooked, but remains soft and pliable. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. You just need a few brown spots on the tortilla, if you cook it too long it will get crisp.
- As you cook them place them in between a clean kitchen towel
Notes
- Depending on altitude and climate you may require more or less water for your dough. I used exactly 1 cup of water
- The dough is really soft and pliable so makes it easy to roll out, so your surface doesn't require too much flour. Dust any excess flour of the dough before cooking it or the flour will burn
- At first the dough will seem a little sticky but as you knead the dough it will become silky smooth
- Do not over cook the Tortillas or they will become crisp. It just need to cook until a few brown spots start to form
