Description

Light, airy, and tender tortillas. Perfect for fajitas, they're so good warm, you'll want to make a double batch and eat them as you make them!

Prep time45 minutes

Ingredients

2 1⁄2Cupflour
1⁄2Cupbutter
1Teaspoonsalt
1Cupwarm water

Instructions

In a bowl, beat flour, butter, and salt with an electric mixer until crumbly. Gradually add warm water and continue mixing (with a wooden spoon) until dough is smooth. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour. Divide dough into 3 balls. Then divide each ball into 4 pieces, totaling 12 balls. Place on a baking tray, covered with a towel, to rest for 30 minutes. Using a floured surface and floured rolling pin, flatten each ball into a 10-inch circle. Heat a dry 12-inch skillet over medium heat. One at a time, cook the tortillas until slightly brown, about 30 seconds per side. Serve warm or refrigerate. Makes 1 dozen.

Notes

I like to experiment with different flavored tortillas. Our family favorites are pesto, sun-dried tomato, and cheese. Knead 1/8 teaspoon of prepared pesto or sun-dried tomato spread into each dough ball before flattening into a tortilla. Also adding 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese to dough balls makes a delicious cheese tortilla.
