Bacon Flour Tortillas

Prep Time1 hour 30 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time1 hour 45 minutes
Servings: 12 tortillas

Ingredients

  • 230 grams 2 cups King Arthur’s All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons bacon grease
  • 2/3 cup water

Instructions

  • Pour flour and salt into a food processor fitted with the dough blade. Pulse the mixture four or five times, so it blends and becomes a little more fine.
  • Place the bacon grease and water in a small bowl and microwave for 30-45 seconds, until melted.
  • Turn the food processor back on and slowly pour the grease and water into the processor. In about 30 seconds, the dough will form into a nice ball. If you measured your ingredients accurately, the dough should be smooth and silky.
  • Remove the ball and place it onto the counter. Knead it a few times to ensure everything is well blended. Place it in a bowl and cover. Let it rest for one hour.
  • After it has rested, divide the dough into 12 golf-ball-size balls. Let them rest on a plate covered with a damp paper towel for 10-15 minutes.
  • Just before cooking, press a ball into a tortilla using a heavy pan, rolling pin or tortilla press.
  • Heat an empty skillet over medium-high heat. When a drop of water beads in the pan, it’s ready. Place the tortilla in the pan and cook for about 30 seconds. Flip and cook another 30 seconds.
  • Place the baked tortilla in a tortilla warmer or a plate covered with a towel or in a round cake pan topped with another cake pan turned upside down. Adjust the heat of the skillet, as needed as you continue to cook the rest.
  • Fill with your favorite ingredients.
