Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.75 cups Warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the olive oil to the dry mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to distribute it evenly. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the warm water, mixing with a fork or your hands until the dough starts to come together.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Cover the balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 15 minutes to relax the gluten.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Aim for 8–10 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one tortilla into the skillet. Cook for about 30–45 seconds, or until bubbles form and the bottom develops golden spots.

Step 8

Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 30–45 seconds. Remove from the skillet and place in a clean towel to keep warm.

Step 9

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Serve the tortillas warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container or resealable bag for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
