Healthier Flour Tortillas

Shopping healthy is EXPENSIVE! I agree that your health is 100% worth the investment, but there are hacks and tricks to take off some weight money wise. 

One of these tricks.... Make your own tortilla wraps. 

It doesn't take long, it's very inexpensive, you can use tortillas for multiple meals, they are fun to make, annnnnd super tasty!

This recipe is for flour tortillas opposed to corn. I used coconut oil instead or lard which is usually reccomended. Coconut oil is still very fatty but it is a ton healthier than lard. In my opinion they taste better too!

You can also substitute whole grain flour oranyother flour you would like to use. I used all purpose flour. 

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup Coconut Oil

3 Cups Flour

2 Teaspoons Salt

1 Cup Warm Water

Directions:

Combine baking soda, salt, flour and coconut oil in medium bowl. Mix together until flour looks like small crumb balls.

Add warm water and stir well.

Cover and let sit for 1 hour. 

Roll into medium small balls. Place on lightly floured baking sheet.

Lightly flour surface and one by one roll dough. You want the dough to be extremely thin.

As you notice in the pictures the dough is so thin you can see the green surface underneath through them.

Place a medium to large bowl or place upside down on top of the dough. Make sure you center the plate/bowl in order to have a complete sphere.

With a knife trace the outside of the bowl in order to remove the excess dough.

(Excess dough can and should be used to make additional tortillas. Using the excess dough instead of throwing it out will make at least 5 more tortillas.)

I ended up liking the larger tortillas so I switched to a plate. Works just as well.

Heat skittet on medium-high heat. Place dough centered on skittet.

Dough will start to bubble .. No worries it's supposed to do that.

CHECK the bottom often though these burn easy and become hard once cooked too long. 

Once the skillet is up to heat the dough only take a minute or two to cook.

Flip the tortilla and allow the other side to cook.

Remove from skillet, cover and serve when ready!!!

Thank you all so, so much for reading!!! I really hope you enjoy these as much as I did. They really were so fun. I won't be buying tortillas anymore!
