Whole Wheat Tortillas Recipe

The recipe blends whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt before rubbing in oil to create a crumbly base. Warm water is gradually added while mixing until a smooth dough forms. After resting in small balls, each piece is rolled into approximately 8-inch circles.

Cooking on a preheated skillet for a couple of minutes each side produces tortillas with browned spots and a pliable texture for folding or rolling. The baking powder helps leaven them slightly, making them tender rather than dense.

They work well as a base for various fillings and can be reheated or stored after cooking. The balance of whole wheat and all-purpose flour keeps flavor robust yet dough manageable for rolling.
