Healthy Tortillas With No Oil

My family loves Mexican food 

and those darn tortillas are 

so yummy, it's hard to do 

away with not eating tortillas 

like burritos, tacos, enchiladas 

etc. You know what I mean.  

 For health reason we needed to 

find a no oil tortilla recipe. 

While surfing the net, I came 

across  Oil Free (No Really!) Tortillas by Shella Brouimley

Well, I just had to try them and

 they were delicious!  The texture 

is slight different so I recommend 

you use Bread Flour and not 

Whole Wheat flour.   

I did change the 
#recipe slightly,

 so check out her recipe and 

decide which recipe you'd like to

 follow!  It wasn't a big change.

2 cups Bread Flour  

1/2 tsp Salt

3/4 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 cup milk 

    1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp water 

    

     Extra flour for kneading and rolling out

Mix flour, salt and baking powder

 together in large bowl. 

In a sauce pan heat up  milk, and

water to warm temperature.

Mix all ingredients together in bowl.  

Spread some flour on to counter and

transfer dough to counter.

Knead for 5 minutes until  smooth,

adding flour as needed if dough sticks.

Place dough back in the same mixing bowl

and cover. Place a towel or plastic wrap.

Rest for 40 minutes to one hour.

Separate the dough into 6-12 balls,

depending on how big you want them.

I believe I got 15 with this batch. 

 

Sprinkle a bit of flour to keep

the tortillas from sticking to

the rolling pin and counter

top, not much, just a bit.

Roll each ball into a tortilla.

The thickness is up to you,

I like them thin. 

Then place in preheated pan and

cook until you see small bubbles

on top or light brown cooked spots

 when you are about to flip 

over, do not burn. 

Flip over tortilla and wait a 

few seconds before you push down

a spot at a time with a kitchen

towel to allow it to bubble up.

You only need to press down one
or two times.

Place warm tortillas between a

clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

If you don't eat them right

away, allow tortillas to cool

completely before placing them

in a zip lock bag to refrigerator.

** The second time around when I made these tortillas I  used a tortilla press  to flatten them, then I rolled each one out.  You don't need one to make these!!!
