Ingredients

  • 2 1/2-2 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour can sub whole wheat or white flour
  • 1/2 cup whole chia seeds
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or liquid coconut oil
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 Tbsp raw honey

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attached, mix 2 1/2 cups flour with other dry ingredients on low speed for 30 seconds.
  • Add remaining three ingredients and increase to medium speed.
  • Return to low speed and add additional flour as needed until mixture begins to form a ball.
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface and divide into 12 small balls.
  • Use your palm or rolling pin to gently roll each ball out to the desired size and thickness (these will only "puff up" very slightly when cooked).
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. When pan is hot, add a single dough round and cook until bottom develops golden brown spots. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side until a similar, lightly brown surface develops.
  • Serve immediately, or store in fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
  • To reheat stored tortillas, wrap a damp towel/paper towel around them and gently reheat in the microwave.

Notes

If this is your first time making tortillas, consider doubling this batch so you have a few extras to practice with. It took me a few tries the first time I made these to learn how thin I wanted to roll them and how long I liked them cooked.
