Who doesn't love a warm burrito or soft taco? And wouldn't it be even better if it were home-made and straight off the grill, not to mention incredibly tasty and healthy to boot!
Presenting the Homemade Tortilla! And yes, you can make this from your food-storage!
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour (in theory you can make it with white, or half/half)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbl oil
1/2 cup warm water
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Stir in oil and water. (Add more water if needed-should be a fairly stiff dough) Knead 5 minutes. Let rest 30 min. Make into balls (about 1 1/2" each). Roll balls into a thin circle. (If you want bigger or smaller tortillas just start with less dough-make sure they can fit your griddle or frying pan.)
Cook on an un-greased medium hot griddle. You might want to experiment with the heat. If it's not hot enough they'll dry out. The tortillas should start to bubble up (looking like a balloon inflating) almost instantly once introduced to the heat. Once it's bubbled quite nicely on one side-flip to the other side and brown. It does not take long for them to cook--don't walk away!
Take off the heat and enjoy! You can keep them under a barely moist towel to keep them soft until you eat them.
