Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sourdough starter active and bubbly
  • 1/2 cup water adjust as needed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the sourdough starter and water, mixing until a rough dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Add olive oil and knead for another minute until incorporated.
  4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Cook the Tortillas
  1. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
  2. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through.
  4. Keep the cooked tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining tortillas.

Notes

These tortillas can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
