These tortillas are made with canola oil instead of the traditional lard or vegetable shortening. I also use organic, unbleached flour.
Mix 3 cups flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Add 1/3 cup canola oil and mix with your fingers until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add 1 cup of hot water and mix until a ball is formed. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes. I have also refrigerated it overnight. Divide the dough into 12 balls and roll out one at a time.
Heat a skillet or cast iron griddle over medium high heat. Cook each tortilla about 2 minutes per side until brown spots form on the surface. These are delicious and fairly healthy. Great for soft tacos or breakfast burritos, and certainly good plain with butter.

I love the idea of using canola oil instead of solid fat. I have tried making whole wheat tortillas before but I had a lot of trouble rolling them out. Maybe this will inspire me to try again!
I love the idea of making my own healthy tortillas too! I'm going to try these and maybe add some pureed sun dried tomatoes and chili powder, and cut back a tad on the oil or water...
I made these today and they are delicious. good thing I cut the recipe in half!!! thanks for sharing
Your recipe is absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this recipe; I have made these every week for months without thanking you. It is now famous in London UK too because my daughter's family enjoys them also.
I found these via a Pinterest post. These tortillas have been a total game changer for me. I've been buying store bought tortillas for YEARS and now I'll never go back. These were so good! I always make a double batch so I have enough for dinner and lunches later in the week. Thank you for this recipe!
