Sprinkle of flax seed

and mix til crumbly

Three

Add in water and let your mixer do the hard work. Let it knead at a medium speed for a couple of minutes.

Your dough should look like this

Five

Divide dough into eight balls

Let balls rest for 10 minutes covered with a tea towel.

Six

Make sure you have a hot skillet

Roll out each ball to a very thin circlish figure

Homemade tortillas definitely *look* homemade in my kitchen...

Eight

Place tortilla onto hot skillet, cooking each side until you see bubbles. Then flip.

Tada! Hot, fresh, healthy-ish tortillas!

Ole'!
