Hot Chile Tortillas

Hot Chile Tortillas


1. Mix the flours, salt, chiles, and butter in a food processor bowl or a bread machine set on manual(now would be the time to add in other spices and herbs, if using). Slowly add the warm water until the mixture forms a smooth, moist ball.

2. Remove the dough, divide it into 12 equal size balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.

3. Flatten each ball in a tortilla press or with a rolling pin to the desired thickness, usually about 1/8 of an inch.

4. Cook each tortilla on preheated, hot griddle on medium heat. Turn the tortilla every 10 seconds for about 1 minute. As it cooks, it will develop some puffing and some dark spots. Place each cooked tortilla under a terry cloth or linen towel, When you have finished with all of the tortillas, place them in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator until they are needed.
