this is a recipe that I got from a very old Organic Gardening Magazine. it's a combination type tortilla made with both flour and cornmeal.. they are soft and pliable. something a little different from what you get in the stores. Read more . the number of tortillas depends on the size you make them. See less
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour shopping list
- 1 cup cornmeal, as finely ground as possible shopping list
- 1/2 teasp. salt shopping list
- 4 eggs, beaten shopping list
- 2 TBSP. oil shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups water shopping list
How to make it
- in bowl: combine the flour, cornmeal, and salt
- in another bowl: combine beaten eggs, oil and water
- pour the egg/water mixture slowly into the flour/cornmeal mixture stir.
- this helps prevent lumps
- you may need a little more water.. the batter will be very thin. like a crepe batter
- this recipe call for the use of an iron skillet but a heavy bottomed frying pan should work just fine.
- use a 8 - 10 inch frying pan.. wipe with a very little amount of oil
- preheat the frying pan over medium heat
- pour in 1/4 cup of batter ( stir it first the cornmeal sinks)
- tilt and rotate the pan to make a 'pancake' about 6 inches across
- allow a few mins to become lightly brown then flip over and lightly brown the other side. don't over cook or they will become too stiff to roll
- keep tortillas warm until ready to use by stacking them with paper towels in between them and cover them in a low oven

I made these with Gluten Free flour mix instead of flour and they are great. It is hard to roll out GF doughs and this was easy, quick and tasty. Thanks
