Equipment

  • MIxer with dough hook
  • Bowl
  • Towel
  • plastic wrap
  • tortilla press
  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Begin by combining the sourdough starter, water, oil, salt, and flour in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Knead the mixture in the mixer for 2-3 minutes or knead by hand for approximately 5 minutes until the ingredients are uniformly blended and the dough has gained some elasticity.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 12-24 hours.
  • The following day, split the dough into 16 equal portions.
  • Roll each piece of dough into a ball.
  • Use a heated grease tortilla press to flatten each ball into a thin disc or on a gently floured surface, roll or stretch each ball thinly to form the disc.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet with some oil or shortening over medium heat and cook each piece for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until soft and slightly crisp.
