I have been making flour tortillas for my family for a couple of years now, but was advised to change my diet so I went looking for a whole grain recipe.

I used half the amount of olive oil as that was more consistent with the amount of fat I use to make white flour tortillas. I then cooked them on a well seasoned cast iron griddle and let them rest in a covered container lined with a tea towel as they cooled slowly. I find this traps the steam and keeps the tortillas softer.

They turned out well.

I followed the recipe and my tortillas got hard and split. Ideas on how to avoid this please?

These were easy to make and tasted great.
I had a problem with the quantities though. The 1x mix only made 6 tortillas, not 12. That led me to roll them too thin to start with, to try to make an 8inch circle.
Once I realised that wasn't going to work, I got a few good ones, but only 6 x 6inches, so not sure how this would ever make 12.
I will make them again because they are delicious!

In reply to Terri. There's no need for it in this recipe. Some recipes include it so that they come out a little more "puffy". - Nicole

Why is there no baking powder in this recipe?

In reply to Meredith. Takes a little tweaking but when you find the right proportions they turn out great! - Nicole

I just tried the recipe and the tortillas came out great although they were a bit oily. I used light tasting olive oil instead of avocado oil. Also, I used a stand mixer and let the dough knead for 2 minutes and rolled the dough into balls and covered them with a damp towel for 10 min before rolling them out on a silicone mat. I find that the tortillas can become dry if you use too much flour when rolling them out. Just a bit of flour on the rolling pin. I'm going to try using a TBLS less oil and see how they turn out. Overall not a bad recipe.
Thank you!

Great and simple recipe. I followed the recipe exactly as is the first time. It did seem too oily for me, so i ended up adding about 1/2 a cup of flour to help absorb the oil and make it easier for me to roll. I also noticed that my tortillas got a bit hard, even though I used a thick towel to keep them warm.

My second time trying the recipe, I used 1/3 cup of coconut oil. I also used about 3 cups of flour and 1 cup of boiling water. I used a spatula to mix the ingredients in a bowl and once it was crumbly, I used my hands. This ratio worked much better for me, it was easier to work with and the tortilla did not get hard edges as my first batch.

In reply to Greg. I grind my own flour too and I always add extra to account for (not) settling. I guess we could be more accurate if we weighed it, but I'm content just adjusting the recipe as needed.
