Ingredients

  • 170 g whole wheat flour
  • 70 g plain flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 150 ml warm water (boiled and allowed to cool)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine 70 g Plain flour, 170 g Whole wheat flour, 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder and 1 pinch Sea salt in a large bowl.
  2. Pour in 2 tablespoon Vegetable oil and using your hands, mix until you get a crumbly mixture.
  3. Add 150 ml Warm water a little at a time. continue mixing until a smooth dough is formed.
  4. Divide into 5 equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a circle around 22cm/9 inch in diameter.
  5. Heat a frying pan (no oil) until hot - this will take 4-5 minutes. Cook each tortilla for 2 minutes each side.

Notes

  • The cook time is for one tortilla wrap. Cooking a larger amount will increase the cooking time, unless you have multiple pans heating simultaneously.
  • You need to use a really heavy based pan for this recipe.
  • The pan needs to be very very hot for these to cook. Heat your pan for a good 4 minutes before you add a tortilla to it. This will help it to puff up and give it those bubbles.
  • If you have a gas stove and want to give it a proper charred look, then hold each side of the tortilla over a flame for 30 seconds.
