Description

Delightful homemade sourdough tortillas that are soft, flavorful, and perfect for tacos or wraps.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 210 g (1.5 heaping cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 7 g (1 1/4 teaspoons) kosher salt
  • 56 g (1/4 cup) softened butter
  • 100 g (1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon) water
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) sourdough starter

Instructions

  1. Begin by whisking the flour and salt together in a medium bowl.
  2. Using a fork, cut the softened butter into the flour until well mixed.
  3. Next, stir in the water and sourdough starter until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough in the bowl until it comes together, then on a floured surface for another 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  5. Cut the dough into 12 pieces for taco-sized tortillas or 6 pieces for burritos.
  6. Shape each piece into a ball and let them rest for 30 minutes.
  7. Roll each ball out to 6-8 inches for tacos or 10-12 inches for burritos.
  8. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla until puffed and lightly browned, about 60 seconds.
  9. Store the tortillas in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Resting the dough is crucial for softer tortillas. You can add spices to the dough for extra flavor.
