Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plain Skyr yogurt or Greek yogurt*
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup water + more as needed

Instructions

  • Add the flour, yogurt, and salt to a large bowl. Using a silicone or wooden spoon stir until combined. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until a ball starts to form.
    A glass bowl containing flour, white powder (possibly salt or baking powder), and a dollop of plain yogurt on a light textured surface.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead until smooth. You may need to sprinkle more flour if the dough is too sticky.

  • Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Flour the work surface, and then roll out each tortilla into a circle using a rolling pin until paper thin. You may need more flour during this step. Repeat until all the tortillas are rolled out.

Notes

  • The amount of extra flour used on your work surface depends on how you measured your flour during step 1.
  • This recipe yields 8 6-inch tortillas.
  • Blended cottage cheese: I recently tested this recipe with blended cottage cheese and it was amazing. It kept the chewy texture, and the flavor was very similar.
