Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
Add the warm water and vegetable oil to the flour mixture.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together using a fork or your hands until the dough starts to come together.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
Step 6
Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
Step 7
After resting, roll each ball into a flat circle about 7-8 inches in diameter using a rolling pin, ensuring the surface is lightly floured to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Preheat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Place one rolled-out tortilla in the hot pan and cook for about 1 minute or until bubbles form on the surface.
Step 10
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly golden.
Step 11
Remove the cooked tortilla from the pan and cover it with a clean towel to keep it warm and soft.
Step 12
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 13
Serve the whole wheat tortillas warm with your favorite fillings, such as grilled vegetables, beans, or lean proteins.
