Servings: 8-12
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

• 2 cups freshly ground whole wheat flour*
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon raw organic apple cider vinegar
• 3/4 cup warm water

In a medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the solid coconut oil until it appears like tiny peas, just as if you are making a pie crust.

Next, add the apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup of the warm water. Using a pastry blender or fork, mix well until a ball forms.

Slowly add remaining water until you get a kneadable ball of dough. Knead the ball in the bowl for about 2 minutes.

Depending on the size you want your tortillas, divide the dough into equally sized balls: 8, 10, or 12 for large, medium, or small respectively.

Preheat your griddle on medium-high.

On a lightly floured surface roll each ball as thin as you can. Lay the tortilla on the ungreased, preheated pan. As soon as you see puffing bubbles, flip your tortilla. Depending on how hot your pan is, this should take 30 to 40 seconds on each side.

*Grind your own fresh flour using Heirloom Turkey Hard Red Winter Wheat Whole Berries and our KoMo Classic Grain Mill.
