Truly The Best Ever ~ Homemade and Healthy Flour Tortilla and Wrap Recipe

I am happy to share this recipewith you here at The Fresh Loaf. It is Nutiva's wonderful product that helped me make these awesome wraps. I am happy to share them and hope you will give them a go. Please let me know if you do and share your thoughts. They are super easy,neat and delicious as well. Best of all they are free of any unnecessary or harmful ingredients. I included a video for a step by step tutorial byChef John, as our method is exactly the same, only I have changed the ingredients. That should make it easier still. Simple is the key to everything. Thank you for looking and here it is:

The Grateful Loaf's ~ Original Homemade and Healthy Flour Tortilla Wrap Recipe

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour ( King Arthur - Organic )
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp baking powder ( Rumford )
1/4 cup Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
1/2 - 3/4 c very warm (not boiling) use spring or pure bottled water

The Method:

Mix the Tortilla Dough

Add flour, salt and BP into a bowl. Then add the Coconut Oil and cut in with a pastry cutter - Work that shortening in until you can’t see any large lumps. After the shortening is worked in a little bit, add 1/2 cup and no more than 3/4 of a cup of very warm water, not boiling.

With a spatula going to mix that together until it comes together as a loose dough, then I'm going to switch to my fingers, and transfer it to my cutting board. I'm going to knead it for about 3 to 5 minutes, and it's going to form a fairly stiff, yet easy to work with dough. Just like that.

Allow the Tortillas to Rise

Put it back in the mixing bowl, cover, and let it rest for 15 minutes. When we are ready to make tortillas, pull off little pieces of dough - this batch will make about 8, so I divided my dough into 8 little balls.

Roll Out Each Tortilla

You want to shape it into a nice smooth ball. I like to push it through my hand like this, and then pinch the bottom. On to the cutting board it goes. We're going to roll it out to about 6-7 inches wide, and nice and thin - well, not too thin. You should not need much flour since the shortening in the dough will keep it from sticking to the work surface. It really is a delightful dough to work with.

Heat the Tortillas

You want a hot, dry pan (over med-high heat). Non-stick, regular pan, or even a cast iron pan which is actually the best. Throw it in the preheated pan for one minute on the first side. You'll see little bubbles form. Flip it over and cook another minute - you'll see it puff up a little bit probably. Use tong's. Flip it over one last time for about another minute - you're going to see those little brown blisters, which are the signature of homemade tortillas.

There's where you can adjust the pan, if those are getting too dark, turn down the heat a little, and if they are too light, turn it up. There's where is can really start to inflate, which is very cool. So after about a minute on the last side they are done, and throw it on a plate.

Serve the Tortillas

That batch will make about 8 to 10 amazingly delicious tortillas. Soft, supple, delicious - they are just waiting to be wrapped around whatever great ingredients you want or just butter and enjoy :) I really hope you give these a try. They are a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Question regarding Coconut oil

I understand cutting coconut oil into the dough when making a pie crust. But when you cut it into the flour and then add the warm water, doesn't that liquify the the coconut oil? I suppose I am wondering whether one can just use the oil in its liquid form assuming the kitchen is warm enough to keep it liquid.

Hi David

Regarding the warm water being added to the flour and Coconut (shortening) Oil, I had thought it might as well, but it does not. I will tell you it is a very easy and fun dough to work with. Give them a try and let me know what you think :) Thanks for posting the question.

Adding Warm Water into dough instead of cutting it in

I do know that from experience it's important to cut the shortening ingredients into the dough in pea size pieces. As the dough cooks, the little blobs melt and send up steam which makes your finished product much more tender. I initially used to cut my ingredients too fine, but finally learned not to. Makes a world of difference.

They look very good, your

They look very good, your tortillas.

(I know I will suffer under the mighty god of Spanish cuisine to call something tortilla that has neither eggs nor potatoes nor onion in it ;) )

Best Tasting Tortillas Ever!

I found your recipe this weekend and gave it a try. This is my go-to recipe from now on. They were quick to make and easy to roll out. I didn't even need extra flour to roll them out. Most recipes are hard to get to stretch enough, but these have beautiful elasticity. Then you don't need extra shortening to cook them in. I love cooking them in a dry skillet. So easy to prepare and clean up after. The coconut oil gave them the most AMAZING flavor and tenderness. The only problem I have with them is that I doubled the recipe and I keep opening the fridge and tearing off parts of the leftovers. Even cold they have the most amazing flavor. Thank you for sharing this recipe as itworked way beyond my hopes and expectations.
