Recipe For Sourdough Discard Tortillas That Are Easy

Are you ready to elevate your tortilla game? Forget those floppy store-bought excuses, we’re crafting some mouthwatering sourdough tortillas right in your kitchen!

Sourdough Tortillas: The Stars of the Show

Just look at these beautiful tortillas stacked high like delicious little clouds. They’re waiting to be filled with whatever your heart desires. Maybe tacos, perhaps a breakfast burrito, or just a good old-fashioned quesadilla – the possibilities are endless!

Ingredients That Make the Magic Happen

Gather these ingredients before your culinary adventure begins:

1 cup all-purpose flour (feel free to use gluten-free if that’s your jam)
1 cup sourdough starter (the discard works wonders, my friend)
1/4 cup water (adjust this as necessary for dough consistency)
1/4 teaspoon salt (because bland is banned)
2 tablespoons oil (for that lovely richness and flexibility)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that we’re all set, it’s time to bring these tortillas to life:

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sourdough starter, water, salt, and oil. Mix it up until you form a soft dough. It should be pliable but not sticky; adjust with more flour or water if needed!
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and fabulous. This is a great time to channel your inner baker and pretend you know what you’re doing.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth or wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it rest for 30 minutes to an hour. Patience is key, my friend. You can sneak away for a dancing break while you wait!
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 1/8 inch thick. A rolling pin helps, but if you don’t have one, your trusty hands will do!
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side, or until you see lovely golden brown spots forming. Flip them like a pro!
Once cooked, stack them on a plate and cover them with a clean towel to keep them warm and toasty.

Now that your sourdough tortillas are ready, fill them silly or just serve them warm as a delightful side. Enjoy your masterpiece, and don’t be afraid to show off a little – you’ve earned it!
