Homemade Tortillas With Coconut Oil

I first wrote about these tortillas back in 2015. They are so delicious (and easy) that I thought I should do another post about them for anyone who’s new here! Pair them with my red enchilada sauce, and OH, MOMMA! you’ll die!

DON’T DIE!

Time to get your skillz on! The recipe is very simple, especially for a first timer. Although, I will say that I think the secret to a great tortilla is a smokin’ hot cast iron pan.

For this recipe, I used a small-sided cast iron pan: Lodge Cast Iron Round Griddle

This type of pan makes it easy to flip the tortillas. Or to make grilled cheese…but that’s another post.

Here what ours looked like when done:

Known Homemade Tortilla Fact: Tortillas do not have to be perfectly round to taste amazing.

Homemade Tortillas With Coconut Oil

Ingredients:

3 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup very hot, yet not boiling, water

Instructions:

Whisk together dry ingredients.
Cut in coconut oil. (1)
Mix in water.
Knead 1 minute or until dough is no longer sticky.
Divide dough into 12 balls.
On a non-greased, preseasoned cast iron skillet, preheated to a medium heat (adjust the heat as needed so not to burn tortillas), cook one minute on the first side and 30 seconds on the second side.
Place in tortilla server or on a plate under a towel to keep warm.
Store in Ziploc bag. Do not place in fridge, as they will turn rock hard. (2)

Notes

1) My coconut oil was a liquid when adding since it was the summer months. I had no issue blending everything together.

2) These were delicious as cooked. We stored in a Ziploc baggie on the counter and also had them the next day. We simply heated them through on top of a gas burner and they were as good as the day before.

3) You can taste a bit of the coconut oil, but for the most part they tasted pretty true to a flour tortilla.
