Easy Wheat Tortillas

Light blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flours make a light, lower fat, and easy alternative to a basic flour tortilla. This recipe came together one afternoon when I ran out of tortillas midway through a dish I was making. The family enjoyed them so much, I will make them from scratch from now on.

Step: 1

Beat butter in a bowl in a stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step: 2

Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt together in a bowl. Slowly add flour mixture to butter and beat using the paddle attachment. Add just enough cold water to mixture until dough pulls away from the side of bowl.

Step: 3

Form dough into 3-inch balls and flatten each with a press or between 2 small plates covered in plastic wrap.

Step: 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook dough until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
