Ingredients
-
1 2/3 cups low-protein baking mix
-
3/4 tsp taco seasoning
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
2 tbsp vegetable oil
-
1 drop yellow food colouring
-
7 tbsp water
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, stir together the baking mix, taco seasoning, and salt.
-
Drizzle the oil over the mixture, and mix in with a fork.
-
Add the yellow food colouring to the water. Add the water to the mixture 1 tbsp at a time, continuing to mix with a fork in between.
-
Once all the water has been added, pick up the dough with your hands, and knead it into a ball.
-
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a small golf ball-sized shape.
-
Place each small ball of dough in between 2 sheets of waxed paper, and press into a 5- to 6-inch circle. If you have a rolling pin, use it to help you flatten out the dough.
-
As you roll out the dough, stack the tortillas with a layer of wax paper in between each of them. This will prevent the tortillas from sticking together until you are ready to cook them.
-
Heat an ungreased skillet to high, and cook tortillas, one at a time, for 30 seconds on each side.
-
Remove tortillas from the skillet, and lay them on a baking sheet. Cover with a warm towel until you’re ready to serve.
