Sourdough Discard Tortillas

Does any one else's family have tacos at least one night per week? We are SO guilty in my household!! We love all of the fresh topping tacos allow us to add from gauc, pineapple mango salsa, roasted veggies, garden pico, fresh jalapeños, etc! Not only is it a fresh, filling meal, but can also be so versatile with all the different protein options -- mahi, shrimp, tuna, chicken, grass fed beef, etc!

But have you ever read the label on the back of store bought tortillas? If not, be prepared, its very alarming. Doesn't matter if you're team corn or team flour... both are full of ingredients you wouldn't recognize and probably can't pronounce!

Ever since starting our Sourdough journey, we have not bought any forms of bread from the grocery store, with the exception of high quality pasta. Sourdough has given us the opportunity to add nourishing and nutritious carb options into our diet without worrying about whats is on the ingredient label.

Trust me -- you have to try this recipe! Sourdough Discard Tortillas are quick, easy, soft, full of flavor, and the perfect replacement for store - bought tortillas!

Prep Time - 50 Minutes

Cook Time - 2 - 5 Minutes

Total -- About 55 Minutes

Ingredients

2 - 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour

1 Tsp Sea Salt

1/3 Cup Olive Oil

1/2 Cup Warm Water

1 Cup Sourdough Starter (active or discard)

Instructions

• Add flour and salt to a large mixing bowl or to your stand mixer. If using a stand mixer, mix using the dough hook. If you do not have this attachment, simply use your handheld mixer.

• Add in Sourdough Starter and mix on low.

• With the mixer running on low, slowly add in the warm water and olive oil. Allow the dough to mix for 2 - 3 minutes. Combine until it is no longer sticky to the touch.

• Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. This step is SO important.

• After the 10 minutes, divide the dough into balls about 1/2 cup large for reference.

• Roll the dough into balls, then cover the dough with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes to 2 hours. This step is also important!!

• Roll the dough as thin as possible and rotate rolling direction to keep the shape circular.

• Place the dough in a very lightly oiled cast iron pan. Or cook on a flat skillet with no oil.

• Cook on each side for 30 seconds - 2 minutes. Until its browned. Keep an eye on them! They all cook slightly different / at different speeds.

• Place the finished tortillas in a tea towel and cover until ready to eat!

  
  

To store, let the tortillas completely cool and then place in an airtight container or ziploc and store in fridge. They stay fresh for 7 days. Simply reheat in a pan when you're ready to eat them throughout the week!
