I’ve been a tortilla fan my entire life. This easy recipe has been carefully tweaked to create an aromatic and spicy (heat) tortilla that is easy to work with. The recipe below can easily be doubled to create 16 tortillas. The recipe below makes 8. Enjoy! 
- 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of warm water
- 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon of garam masala
- 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
Heat a cast iron skillet or something similar. You’ll want it a little less than medium. Too hot and you’ll scorch the tortillas. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk well. Add the olive oil and water. Blend it all together until you have a well kneaded ball of dough. It should have a nice burnt sienna color. If it is too dry add 1 teaspoon of water and continue kneading. If it is a little too sticky that is ok. Add some flour to a large cutting board and roll the dough into a long sausage shape about 12 inches long. Cut into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball and set aside. Add more flour to the cutting board. Grab a ball of dough and form a small flat round shape in your hand. Using a rolling pin flatten it into a round tortilla shape. This takes practice. If they come out square or blob-like don’t worry. Try again on the next one! As each is rolled out put it on your hot skillet. It will take 30 to 45 seconds to cook then flip it. If you’re not getting good markings from the heat leave them a bit longer. It takes a bit of practice to learn the proper time.
Continue to roll, flip, and cook until you’re done. Easy stuff. Fill the tortillas with your favorites and enjoy!
