Homemade Tortillas

I love this recipe because it is simple, healthy, and tasty.  Also, the recipe doesn't call for baking powder, which in my opinion, sometimes, has an unfavorable aftertaste.  These do require more time to make, as most good and healthy options do, but it's worth it for your health.  You can also substitute other grains for the whole wheat flour, or butter or coconut oil for the olive oil.

Mix:
2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp salt

Then add:
3 Tbsp. olive oil
3/4 cup warm water

Mix together.  Fold dough over a few times.  Then, let rest for about 10 minutes.  Cook over medium heat (I use cast iron) for a minute or so until brown.
