Homemade tortillas, is there anything better? I think not. The smell, the taste, it just can't be compared to store bought. Making them may seem a little intimidating, but don't be fooled. It's so easy, it's almost ridiculous. It calls for very few ingredients and just a little, teeny, tiny amount of time.
Tortillas (makes about 12)
2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup warm water (heat in microwave for about 30-35 seconds)
Combine flour, salt, and e.v.o.o in mixer (Kitchen Aid or something similar). Mix until it makes little clumps. Slowly add in warm water, and mix until dough forms. Do not over mix, it will make for tough dough that is very difficult to work with. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes. Break into 2 inch sized balls. Roll out into circular discs and cook in a skillet on medium to high heat. As soon as bubbles start to form (big ones, not little ones) flip over and wait for bubbles to form again. Both sides should be golden brown and "bubbly."
Fill with your favorite taco fixin's or eat it plain. Either way, you shouldn't be disappointed.
