Ingredients

  • 1 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ¼ t. baking powder
  • 1 t. sea salt
  • 2 T. flax seeds
  • 3 T. butter coconut oil, or olive oil (any combination; I like 1 T. butter, 2 T. olive oil)
  • 3/4-1 c. almond milk or milk of choice, warmed

Instructions

  • Mix the flours, baking powder, flax seeds, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Cut in the butter/oil (the flour mix should resemble pebbles).
  • Beginning with 3/4 cup, pour the warm milk into the center of the flour mix, and stir the batter until well combined.
  • Add more milk if needed to create a not too sticky, not too dry dough.
  • Knead the dough a bit, and form a large ball.
  • Divide the large ball into 8 small balls.
  • Place the balls onto a plate, and cover the plate with a dish towel.
  • Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
  • Flour a surface, and roll out each ball one at a time. Use flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking to either the rolling-pin or the table.
  • Place the rolled out tortilla into the hot skillet.
  • Let cook about 1-2 minutes. You may see bubbles form, depending on how thick your tortillas are.
  • Flip and cook for another minute.
  • Transfer the tortillas to a container of some sort that you can cover. This is important, as the tortillas soften during this time. I usually put mine in a large Tupperware with a fitted lid.
  • Repeat this process with the remaining 7 balls.
  • These can be enjoyed immediately or stored in a plastic Ziploc bag for future consumption. It is important to close the bag, otherwise air will get in, and the tortillas will become hard.
