Tortillas


We can't get any good tortillas in Kansas. Or bread for that matter. You would think when you are in the grain-center of America, surrounded by farms, you could find some quality whole grain products. Not so.

The "best" tortillas I can find are these

and the ingredient list is one mile long with words I've never seen in my life!

Let's go back to the basics:

-2 cups wheat flour
-1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil (I used canola)
-2/3 cup warm water

Mix dry ingredients. Work in the oil with your hands, until everything is evenly dispersed. Drizzle the water a little at a time, work it in with hands, until you have a ball of dough. You may use a little less than 2/3 cup.

Make 12-15 little balls, cover with a clean towel, let the dough rest 15 minutes.
Roll out as thin as you can get 'em and heat them through on a non-stick pan.
And don't forget to save one (or two or three) to eat with agave and cinnamon :)
