Description

Delicious and tender tortillas made from sourdough discard, perfect for tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 360 grams all-purpose flour
  • 12 grams salt
  • 113 grams softened butter
  • 250 grams sourdough discard
  • 150 grams warm water

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
  2. Work in the softened butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
  3. Add the sourdough discard and warm water; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces for smaller tortillas, or 8–10 for larger ones. Roll into balls.
  6. Cover the dough balls with a damp towel and let them rest for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
  7. Roll each ball into a paper-thin circle, about 9 inches across.
  8. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, until bubbles form and they’re lightly golden.
  9. Stack cooked tortillas on a plate and cover to keep warm.

Notes

These tortillas can be filled with a variety of ingredients such as grilled veggies, meats, or beans and cheese. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
