Whole Wheat Tortillas

Anyone who loves tacos or fajitas needs to try these! You will need to start them about an hour before you want to eat them, but they also keep well wrapped in a towel in an airtight container.
  • 2c Whole wheat flour
  • 1/2c All Purpose Flour
  • 1ts salt
  • 1/c coconut oil
  • 3/4c boiling water
  1. Sift together flours and salt.
  2. Using fingers, break up coconut oil until it looks like coarse meal. 
  3. Create well in the center and add boiling water. Create ball and press until mixed well. 
  4. Separate into golf-sized balls, cover with a towel and let rest for 1 hour.


In a perfect world, everyone would have all the tools to do every job but stepping outside the box you can make your own tortilla press.
1. Place a long sheet of plastic wrap on a plate, place ball of dough in center and fold plastic wrap over it.
2. Use another plate to apply even pressure to flatten ball.
3. Keeping flatten ball in plastic wrap and use a rolling pin to roll dough out until thin.
4. Wipe a heavy frying/cast iron pan down with oil and heat on medium. Cook each side of tortilla 1-2 minutes until no longer raw.

Enjoy with Tacos, quesadillas, or fajitas! They keep well wrapped in a towel, in a container kept in the fridge.
