Flour tortillas are perfect for wraps, burritos, tacos, and more! Even though they’re easy enough to buy from the store, if you really want to be impressive, make them from scratch! In reality, they’re very easy to make and only require 4 basic ingredients that almost everyone has at home already. Let’s get to cooking!

As Spring starts to arrive I know you want to use that grill sitting on your back porch…I’m here to tell you that if you are only using it for hamburgers and steak you are missing out! • These fish tacos with homemade flour tortillas are fantastic! And crazy easy! • For fish (we use tilapia for fish tacos): Make a little foil pouch or better yet grab a piece of grilling cedarwood from the store. Sprinkle on cumin, chili powder, cayenne (if you want spicy)a bit of salt/pepper and then squeeze 1-2 lemons all over it and some olive oil. Throw a handful of cilantro and oregano on top and grill away. • For the shells I use @thecafesucrefarine “Best Ever Flour Tortillas” recipe (I will add a clickable link on the FB page). If you aren’t making your shells from scratch yet you are missing out. They put taco night over the edge! And so ridiculously easy…heck it says to “let the dough rest” before making them and I almost never do because I am a last minute kindof maker 🙈 I literally put the fish on the grill and make the shells at the same time. • Toppings…add all your taco favorites. Mine are always additional lime juice, pickled cabbage (or onions), salsa, cilantro (never enough!), cheese and sour cream. Yummy! Now that is a fantastic Taco Tuesday 🌮 🙌🏻

Recipe

  1. Start out by measuring two cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of water, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. You can also use coconut oil for this recipe, but make sure it’s refined coconut oil or your tortillas will taste like coconut!
  2. First, pour the flour into a bowl and add in 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Mix together and then add in the water and olive oil and stir until combined.
  4. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead just about a dozen times until the dough becomes smooth. If the dough is sticking add a bit more flour. If it seems dry, add water.
  5. Leave the dough for 10 minutes to rest and then cut the dough into 8 pieces.
  6. Roll out each section on that same floured surface until it’s the size of a standard tortilla.
  7. Heat up a pan on medium-high heat and pour in just a bit of oil.
  8. Cook each tortilla for one minute on each side and enjoy!
