Whole wheat flour: You can use whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour. This is the one I used: 100 Percent Whole Wheat Organic Salt: I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half. Oil: I use and recommend using a light-tasting oil, such as vegetable or canola. Water: I prefer warm water when making tortillas because it helps the dough to be more elastic.
Make sure to let the dough rest (at least for a little bit). Shrinking dough when rolling it out means you must let this rest longer. A rolling pin is the easiest way to spread out the dough properly to the correct thinness and shape. Let your tortillas steam each other. Stack them up directly after cooking and keep them covered with a kitchen towel. This helps them steam each other and get nice and soft. A tortilla warmer is also a great idea. Use these tortillas to meal prep breakfast burritos or lunch wraps for the whole week!
Freeze
They can be frozen if you make a very large batch. To freeze these tortillas, let them cool completely and place the in a freezer container or bag and freeze them for up to 6 months.
Reheating Tortillas
Place the tortillas you want to rehat in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for 10-20 seconds. If needed, microwave for an additional 10 seconds. They’ll be nice and soft again.
