With only 4 ingredients, these tortillas do away with the store brand mystery ingredient list. Roll them up and enjoy with breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Ingredients

2 cups white whole wheat flour
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 c warm water

Instructions

In a bowl, mix together the flour, oil and salt.
Slowly add the warm water while stirring until a rough dough comes together. Add a little extra water if needed.
Turn the dough onto the counter and knead for about two minutes.
Return to bowl and let rest for 20 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 equal balls.
Roll each ball into a circle (you want them to be pretty thin)
Heat a pan over medium high heat and grease lightly.
Drop one dough circle into the pan and let cook until bubbles form- about 1 minute.
Flip over and cook another minute, pressing down with a spatula if needed. Repeat with remaining dough.
Use immediately, store in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze.

Super easy. I used white whole wheat flour, but this should work with all purpose flour as well.

If your tortillas come out a little too hard, you probably rolled them too thin. Next time, leave the dough a little thicker when you roll them out. I store mine in a ziploc bag in the fridge.
