Light and Fluffy Sourdough Tortilla Recipe
Prep Time:
1 hour, 30 minutes
Cook Time:
40 minutes
Servings:
20 tortillas
Ingredients
¼ cup vegetable shortening
2 teaspoons salt
⅔ cup sourdough starter
4 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
Combine ½ cup water with the shortening, salt, and sourdough starter in a large bowl. Mix until incorporated.
Add the flour and mix until no flour pockets remain.
Knead the dough, adding flour as needed, until a smooth ball forms, about 5 minutes.
Cover the dough in a clean bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 2-ounce balls, approximately 20 total. Cover, and let the dough balls rest for another 20 minutes.
Press each ball in a tortilla press until completely flattened.
Preheat a griddle or flat pan on medium-high heat.
Add 1 tortilla at a time and cook for 1–2 minutes.
Flip and cook for an additional 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining tortilla dough.
Serve with your favorite taco fillings.
