INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 4 cups whole wheat bread flour
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons salt
    • all-purpose flour for rolling

STEPS

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 resembles oatmeal. Make a well in the center and pour in the boiling water. Mix with a fork until water is incorporated. Sprinkle extra flour, and knead until smooth and non-sticky.

2

Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions (about 2 ounces each). Place on a tray, cover with a cloth, and let rest for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.

3

Heat a griddle or large frying pan over high heat. Roll out a tortilla on a floured surface to your desired thinness.

4

Cook the tortilla on the griddle for 10 seconds until bubbles form. Flip and cook the second side for about 30 seconds, then flip again and cook for 30 more seconds. Repeat for all tortillas.
