Description

These homemade sourdough tortillas are soft, flavorful, and easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients and the tangy twist of sourdough, they’re perfect for quesadillas, tacos, and wraps.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 1/8 oz Unbleached all purpose flour (organic, 400 grams)
  • 1/4 oz Salt (7 grams)
  • 6 tbsp Butter (grass-fed, softened)
  • 3/4 cup Water (warm, 170 grams)
  • 10 oz Unfed sourdough starter (280 grams)
 

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a mixer, with the dough hook attachment, mix the flour, water, butter, salt, and discard for 5 minutes.
  2. Oil a bowl and place the newly kneaded dough inside. Leave the dough in a bowl and rest for 30 mins up to 4 hours, covered with a damp towel.
  3. After the time is up, remove the dough to a floured surface and use a bench scraper to cut it into 16 (for tacos) or 8 (for burritos) equal portions.
  4. Roll those portions into balls.
  5. Heat a griddle or multiple cast iron pans on high.
  6. Roll the balls out as thin as possible. They should be see through, but not breaking apart.
  7. After rolling out, place a tortilla on the griddle or pan and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, the tortilla should puff up in places.
  8. Cook for another 30 seconds or so on the opposite side and remove to a plate.
  9. Repeat this with the remaining dough balls.
