Instructions
 

  1. Mix flour, salt, baking powder. Add oil, stir again. Add water and stir until shaggy dough forms.
  2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured working surface, knead for a few minutes until the dough is smooth.
  3. Divide into 12 pieces, roll each piece into a ball and place on a floured surface. Flour the tops of the dough and place a kitchen towel overtop. Rest for 30 mintues covered.
  4. Preheat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. One by one, on your floured work surface, shape each dough into a disc then use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle. About 7-8inches in diameter.
  6. Place each tortilla on the heated skillet and cook for 30s – 1 minute each side or until light brown spots form.
  7. Transfer to a large high-walled skillet and and place the top on to retain heat and moisture. Use a tortilla basket if you’re cool enough to own one.
  8. Repeat until all dough is used.

Notes

More Tips

  • Not Vegan? Use melted butter instead of oil. Use for your next taco night with ground beef or shredded chicken.
  • Gluten-Free? You can try turn this recipe into gluten-free wraps with a 1:1 gluten-free replacement flour blend. A single-ingredient gluten-free flour (like almond flour or tapioca flour) would probably not work. 
  • No nonstick skillet? Brush melted vegan butter or coconut oil on each tortilla before cooking. 
  • If your tortillas are too stiff, your pan might be too hot or you overcooked them – go for golden brown, not crispy
  • Letting the dough rest is not optional – the dough rest relaxes the gluten and makes rolling easier
  • Don’t stack hot tortillas without covering them – they’ll dry out faster.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour. If it’s dry, wet your hands and knead it a bit more.
