- Start by adding the flour and Greek yogurt to a large mixing bowl. Use a spoon to combine the ingredients, breaking up any clumps of yogurt with your hands. This process ensures an even distribution of moisture throughout the flour.
- Transfer the mixture onto a flat surface and bring it together with your hands until it forms a rough ball. The dough will be really dry and shaggy at first but keep going. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until a smooth ball of dough has formed, wrap the dough in clingfilm and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough ball in half, then cut each half into four equal pieces, giving you 8 pieces of dough.
- Roll each piece into thin circles, the size depending on the size of mini tortilla you prefer. If you prefer perfectly round tortillas, roll the dough into squares first and then cut them into circles using a round cutter or a bowl.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add each tortilla to the pan one at a time (add olive oil if you like them a little more moist and crisp). The tortillas should puff up slightly, which indicates that they’re ready to flip.
- Cook each side for 20-30 seconds. After the first couple of tortillas, you may need to reduce the heat slightly to maintain the perfect cooking temperature.
Notes
For extra soft and pliable tortillas, let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the tortillas easier to roll and preventing them from shrinking during cooking. Also, keep the tortillas covered with a clean kitchen towel as you cook the rest to retain their moisture and softness.
