Ingredients
- 3 cups wholemeal plain flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix the flour with the salt.
- Add the water by quarters until it is all combined.
- Sprinkle some flour on the countertop. Knead the dough until soft; this will take at least 5 minutes. If the dough sticks to your hands, add more flour and keep on kneading until it's easy to shape.
- Split the dough into six balls.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a thin tortilla.
- Cook tortillas in a heated skillet, cooking for about 1–2 minutes each side. If any bubbles appear, just gently break them with the tip of a knife.
- Enjoy!

Notes
- This amount of flour will make six large tortillas or ten smaller ones.
- Keep these tortillas covered or they will dry and break.
- Replace wholemeal flour with all-purpose if desired; you may need an extra ¼ cup of water.
- Use these tortillas to make wraps, quesadillas or burritos. Add some extra flavor with smoked paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, or dried oregano.
