I've never made tortillas before, but it costs $2.50 to buy a package of 12 whole wheat tortillas at the store, and I think I can do better than that. So I looked up a recipe and am excited to try it. I want to store it here, even though I haven't tried it yet... but it had excellent reviews, so hopefully you're all cool with that.
- Combine flours, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the oil and water all at once, using mixer or a fork, and toss quickly.
- When dough can be gathered into a soft mass, turn onto floured surface and knead a few times.
- Form 8 balls of dough, dredge in flour, and store in a plastic bag to prevent drying until ready to be used.
- Flatten first ball of dough into a disk.
- Roll out dough on floured surface until 7 inches or larger with even strokes that do not reach to the edge, turning over frequently.
- Place tortilla in ungreased, frying pan that has been preheated to medium-high heat.
- Cook 30-40 seconds on one side, turn over with spatula and cook 30-40 seconds on other side., First side should be pale and sprinkled with brown spots and the other side will be blotched.
- Repeat process with other balls of dough.
- Stack tortillas on a plate as they are cooked and cover them with a dish towel, which will keep them soft.

where is the ingredients list and the amounts to use??
ha whoops, I'll find it again and repost, thanks.
On my mission I knew some ladies that had tortilla presses. There has got to be somewhere around here where we can get one. Any ideas?
I found tortilla presses online for pretty cheap, also some of the hispanic markets have them I am sure.
