    How long will these tortillas last?

    You can store these tortillas for up to 1 week in an airtight container in the fridge. You can store them even longer in the freezer—up to 3 months.

    You can easily swap the wheat flour in these tortillas for white flour. Wheat flour is considered more healthy, but white flour is just as tasty and works just as well for these tortillas.

    Prep Time: 1 hour
    Rest Time: 30 minutes
    Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
    Servings: 6 10-inch tortillas
    Calories: 93kcal
    Author: Veg Kitchen

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup cornmeal yellow or blue
    • 1 tbsp sesame or corn or other vegetable oil
    • ½ cup spring water
    • ¼ tsp sea salt
    • ½ cup whole wheat bread flour

    Instructions

    • In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the cornmeal and oil.
    • Heat the water to boiling; add the salt and pour over the cornmeal. Wait a few minutes, until the cornmeal has absorbed the water and has cooled to lukewarm.
    • Stir in the flour to form a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board.
    • Wash the bowl and lightly grease it.
    • Thoroughly knead the dough, lightly sprinkling flour under it only as necessary to keep it from sticking. When it is smooth and resilient, form a ball and place it in the bowl.
    • Cover with a damp towel and plate, and set it aside for at least 30 minutes, but preferably for several hours or overnight.
    • Divide the dough into six equal pieces, form balls, and cover them. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 10-inch circle. Stack the tortillas between waxed paper and cover.
    • Cook tortillas on a hot griddle for about 20 seconds on each side, until lightly browned but still soft and pliable.
    • Wrap them in a towel and serve warm.

      I make mind from 1/3 flour, and 2/3 corn mesa, and a pinch of salt. At times I add chili powder, then I fry them in a little oil in the fry pan, if you do not use a little oil, they will smoke up the house badly. I am happy with my mix. And, you MUST rest the dough,, I do usually over night. After cooking, I put them into a plastic bag to keep them soft. They are good, even with nothing on them, just as a snack.
