Recipe Instructions

Place all ingredients in your machine in the order specified by your machine's manual. Select the dough cycle and press start.

The dough should form a nice ball of dough. You may need to add a table spoon of water or flour to get it there. when the dough cycle is finished kneading, stop the machine and remove the dough to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in to 8 equal size chunks and roll into balls. On a lightly floured surface coat all sides of the ball with flour and roll out to a shape that is as round as you can get.

Cook the tortilla in a heavy skillet that has a light coating of oil or pan spray. Cook for 2 minutes on each side or until there are little black burnt looking spots. Remove from the skillet to a plate and cover with a towel. The tortillas should not be stiff. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

This recipe yields 8 tortillas.
