Instructions
Whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a large bowl.
In a small saucepan heat the butter and water until warm and butter is melted.
Add to the flour mix in the bowl and stir to combine until a dough forms.
Knead for a few minutes, then cover in plastic wrap and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 parts; form into balls. Using a rolling pin and extra flour roll out each dough ball to about 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick pan to medium heat. Adding a little oil as needed, cook the tortillas for about 1 minute on each side.
Place on a plate covered with paper towel. Cover the tortillas with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the rest.
Notes
These homemade tortillas are great to make tacos of any sort. Shredded slow cooked chicken with salsa is our current favorite.
You can also make larger tortillas (just fewer) to make delicious lunch wraps or even some bean-filled burritos.
Well-covered the dough keeps in the fridge for about a week. This is perfect to cook just a few fresh tortillas as you need them.
