I love this recipe!!! To the flour I added dried basil and dried oregano. I make enough to last a week and keep in the fridge and make personal sized pizzas out of them. Snack time is a free for all for everyone in my house. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!!
Hey Cynthia, I am so happy to hear your feedback. Thank you so much for sharing! I love all the tips with basil and oregano.
Thank you!
Would these work for chebureki? I love making them with the uncooked frozen tortillas, but they don't sell them in my area
Yes, that is a great idea. It will work great with chebyreki.
I made these the other day and they turned out nothing like I was expecting. They were hard to roll out and after a few hours of being wrapped in kitchen towels they still turned hard. I did like the taste of them though.. idk if I did something wrong? I thought I followed the directions exactly..
They are a little hard to roll out so thin but the process shoildnt be too hard. Maybe the flour you are using makes them a bit too stiff. You could try using a bit less flour. They do have to be covered after they are cooked.
That's so cool. Eating clean and organic, tortillas are my biggest issue. Can never find healthy ones that roll up. Ugh. I was thinking to buy that tortilla press to make corn tortillas. Now you made me think I should make these with whole wheat flour and freeze for easy fajitas. Corn ones too though. I like to keep gluten limited. These look great and so easy!
I like the idea of freezing them, this way they are always fresh. Boys don't care for corn tortillas but I love the idea. Thanks for sharing all those 😉
How can I make this if I don't have a mixer ?
You don't need to, Tatyana gave you an awesome tip 😉
Just put all ingredients in a mixing bowl, start mixing everything with a spoon and when it's not so sticky anymore, dust the table with a flour and start working it with your hands, sort of folding it a until it feels elastic, you can also use a bread maker! 😉
Oh yeyy! I love it when community tips in and helps out. 😉 thank you dear!
wow those are beautiful. Love your site. I use it all the time.
Hey Luba! Thank you so much for stopping by. 😉
