Tortillas…they’re probably one of my favorite parts of going to a Mexican restaurant! If you’re wanting to make tortillas at home without the guilt, then these Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas are a cleaned up version for your next Mexican meal at home.
Tina’s Pro-Tip
This is a dish you need to be attentive for! Once you’ve rolled out the tortillas, be prepared to work quickly because the tortillas will cook quickly. There’s no real set “timer” for each tortilla – look for the visual cues of the tortilla browning and the dough cooking.

Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup warm water
Instructions
- In mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, sea salt, and baking powder. Add oil and warm water, and mix together until the mixture forms a ball. If the ball is still crumbly. add a little more water. Mix on low until the dough mix has a smooth texture.
- Transfer from mixing bowl to a well-floured work surface. Divide dough in half, then in half again. Continue until you have 16 fairly equal portions. Form each piece into a ball and flatten with the palm of your hand as much as possible. If dough is sticky, use a bit more flour. Cover flattened balls of dough with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Roll each dough piece very thinly into a circle. Keep work surface and rolling pin lightly floured.
- When pan is very hot, place one dough circle into pan and allow to cook about 1 minute or until bottom surface has a few pale brown spots. The uncooked surface will begin to show a few little bubbles. If tortilla is browning too fast, reduce the heat slightly. If it’s taking longer than a minute to see a few pale golden brown spots on underside of tortillas, increase the heat. Flip to other side and cook for about 30 seconds. You want the tortilla to be soft but have a few small pale golden brown spots on surface. Remove from pan with tongs and stack in a covered container or zippered bag till all tortillas are cooked. This will keep them soft and pliable.
