How to make Flour Tortilla Wraps
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix well with a spoon, then start mixing with your hands until the flour comes together into a ball. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If too sticky, add a little more flour.
Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then knead with the palms of your hands. The more you work the dough, the softer it becomes.
Once your dough is smooth, divide it into equal round balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough with a rolling pin, from the center outwards, rotating the dough on each roll to help create a round wrap. Roll each wrap very thin, about 2mm thick. If you would like a perfectly round wrap, use a round plate to cut a perfectly round wrap.
Heat a griddle pan on very low heat. Add a tiny bit of oil and tilt your pan to spread the oil. When warm, add one wrap and cook for about 3 minutes on one side. You will see bubbles appear on the top of the wrap, then flip the wrap to cook the other side. You want both sides to have golden brown markings.
Once cooked, place the wraps onto a plate and cover to keep them moist so they don't dry out. Wraps can be used immediately or frozen in an airtight container with greaseproof sheets in between wraps to prevent them from sticking to each other.
