Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 tortillas
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 cup of water.
- Using a fork or your hands, gradually mix the wet ingredients into the flour until a dough begins to form.
- Once the dough has come together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- While the skillet is heating, take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your hands. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Make sure to keep the surface lightly floured to prevent sticking.
- Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the rolled-out tortilla onto the skillet. Cook for about 30-45 seconds, or until bubbles begin to form and the bottom is lightly browned.
- Flip the tortilla using tongs and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds until it is also lightly browned and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it on a plate. Cover it with a kitchen towel to keep it warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
- Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Once all tortillas are cooked, serve them warm with your favorite fillings or toppings. Enjoy your Zero Point Weight Watchers Tortillas!
Tips
- Flour Temperature Matters: Use room temperature ingredients for the most consistent dough texture.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: Knead just until the dough is smooth to keep the tortillas tender.
- Perfect Rolling Technique: Roll from the center outward to create evenly thin tortillas.
- Heat Control is Key: Medium-high heat ensures beautiful golden-brown spots without burning.
- Keep Tortillas Warm: Use a clean kitchen towel to cover cooked tortillas and maintain their softness.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Your first batch might not be perfect, but each time you'll improve your technique.
- Storage Hack: Store cooled tortillas in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
