Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 150g All-Purpose Flour
- 45g PEScience Select Multi-Purpose Protein (unflavored protein powder)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 200g Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, unflavored protein powder, salt, and plain nonfat Greek yogurt into a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until a soft dough ball forms, ensuring all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Divide Dough: Break the dough into 8 medium-sized portions or 16 smaller portions if you prefer street taco-sized tortillas. Shape each portion into a dough ball.
- Prepare Surface: Generously flour a clean surface or lay down a sheet of parchment paper. Place the dough balls on the floured surface and then sprinkle additional flour over the tops to prevent sticking.
- Roll Out Tortillas: Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a thin circular tortilla. Aim for the thinnest dough possible for the best texture. Trim edges with a pizza cutter or use an inverted bowl to cut perfect circles by pressing and twisting.
- Cook Tortillas: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 to 60 seconds on each side. Look for bubbles forming and slight browning as indicators to flip the tortilla to the other side.
- Serve and Store: Serve the tortillas warm for best taste and texture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator due to the Greek yogurt content and reheated gently in the microwave to soften before serving again.
Notes
- Make sure to flour your surface generously to prevent sticking when rolling out the dough.
- Rolling the tortillas thinly ensures a soft, flexible texture ideal for wraps and tacos.
- Cooking time may vary depending on your stove and pan heat; watch for bubbling and browning to know when to flip.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat gently to avoid drying out.
- This recipe yields approximately 8 medium or 16 small tortillas, perfect for multiple uses or batch meal prep.
