Description

Delicious homemade tortillas made with sourdough starter.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup sourdough starter
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled)

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, whisk the sourdough starter, water, oil, and salt together.
  2. Add the flour and mix with the dough hook for 5-6 minutes until no longer sticky.
  3. Divide the dough: 10 pieces for mini tacos, 6 for burritos. Shape into balls and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temp (or up to 24 hours in the fridge).
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Roll to about 1/16 inch thick, or as thinly as possible. About 5-6 inches for tacos and 8-10 inches for burritos.
  5. Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat (do not add oil). Cook the tortillas 30-60 seconds per side until puffed and lightly browned. Adjust the heat as needed.
  6. Cool the tortillas, then store them in an airtight bag in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • For softer tortillas, do not overcook them.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container for freshness.
