Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop (about 30 grams) Whey protein powder (unflavored, or plant-based protein powder for a vegan-friendly option)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the olive oil to the dry mixture and use your hands or a fork to incorporate it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the warm water, a little at a time, while mixing. Continue until the dough comes together and forms a slightly sticky but manageable consistency.
Transfer the dough onto a clean, floured surface and knead for about 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a thin, circular tortilla shape, about 8 inches in diameter. Dust with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Preheat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook for 30-45 seconds on one side, or until bubbles form and light golden spots appear.
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30-45 seconds on the other side. Remove from the skillet and cover with a clean towel to keep warm.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls until all tortillas are cooked.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving for optimal texture.
