Homemade Wheat Tortillas

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well at the centre of the flour. Pour in the water and oil. Mix with a fork until the flour is fully absorbed.

2. 2

   Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes or until soft and smooth. Place in a bowl, cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Let rest for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   On a lightly floured work surface, using a rolling pin, roll each ball of dough into a 10-inch (25 cm) disc.

5. 5

   Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook one disc of dough at a time for 1 minute. As soon as bubbles start to form, turn the tortilla over using a spatula. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the tortilla is nicely puffed up. Set aside on a plate. Cover with a clean, dry dishcloth to keep warm and to prevent from drying out until ready to serve.

6. 6

   The tortillas will keep for 2 days in a resealable bag at room temperature.
