Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole wheat bread flour
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- All-purpose flour for rolling
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole wheat bread flour
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- All-purpose flour for rolling
Directions
1. In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, and salt.
Rub in the shortening by hand until the mixture is the texture of oatmeal. Make a well in
the center, and pour in the boiling water. Mix with a fork until all of the water is evenly
incorporated. Sprinkle with a bit of additional flour, and knead until the dough does not
stick to your fingers. The dough should be smooth.
2.Make balls the size of golf balls, about 2 ounces each. Place them on a tray, and
cover with a cloth. Let stand for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
3.Heat a griddle or large frying pan over high heat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a
tortilla to your preferred thinness. Fry one at a time. Place on the griddle for 10 seconds,
as soon as you see a bubble on the top, flip the tortilla over. Let it cook for about 30
seconds, then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Roll out the next
tortilla while you wait for that one to cook. Repeat until all of the balls have been cooked.
Tortillas can be refrigerated or frozen.
