Flour Tortillas
3C oat flour
1C potato flour
2C warm water
2tbsp butter
2tsp sea salt
1tsp calcium carbonate powder
1tsp rosehip powder
1/2 tsp starch

Mix ingredients and enough warm water to make a soft dough. On a lightly floured surface, fold dough over itself until smooth, but do not knead or overwork; cover and let sit 10 minutes. Divide dough into 12 egg-sized balls and cover with a damp cloth (to prevent drying) until ready to use. Roll out each ball of dough as flat as possible on a sheet of floured, waxed paper; then cover with another sheet of waxed paper. Preheat an un-greased frying pan and cook tortillas on both sides (removing waxed paper from each side prior to cooking) over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly speckled golden.


For Corn Tortillas: replace oat flour with corn flour

For Colored Tortillas: use 1C boiling water combined with 1C cold fruit or veggie juice (of desired color) in place of 2C warm water

For Taco Shells: deep fry corn tortillas, holding the centers of each down with metal tongs until taco shells hold their shape, are golden brown and crispy.

For Tortilla Chips: cut out tortilla chip shapes, lightly brush both sides with oil, salt and bake on cookie sheets until crispy and golden brown on both sides
