How to Make Lite Tortillas
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon baking powder.
- Gradually add 1 cup warm water (approximately 105-115°F) to the dry ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Stir in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 6-7 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep cooked tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
