Adventures in Eating: Cheap. Easy. and Healthy

Join me on my quest to dissect the world of eating, learn to make everything from scratch, find a more simple solution to everyday feeding, and to do it all as cheap as I possibly can. Keep in mind that I have no idea what I’m doing, and that I’m attempting to teach myself; mostly through trial and error, mixed with some internet research and advice from friends.

Black Bean (purple) Tortillas



Ingredients:
2 cup White Flour, Unbleached
1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Sea Salt
1 cup Black Bean Puree
1 cup Water
3 Tb Canola Oil

Directions:
Mix together the white flour, baking powder, salt in a medium size bowl (or mix and knead in stand mixer). Add black bean puree, water and oil, mix until all combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead about 5 minutes, until elastic, add more flour or water if needed. Let dough rest 15 minutes, divide dough into 12 equal portions and roll into balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll balls out until very thin (about as thick as a dime) and round. Rolling tip: Lift actual tortilla and turn, between rolls of the rolling pin, to gently stretch and maintain round shape.

Preheat a nonstick skillet until hot (do not use any oil), or electric griddle to 325F. Place tortilla round in skillet and cook until bubbles form, flip and cook a little while on other side, until starts to lightly brown. Place tortillas in a large plastic bag, inside a clean dish towel to keep warm, moist and avoid sogginess. Tortillas can be stored in refrigerator up to 3 days or place cooled tortillas in a large ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3-4 weeks.

Makes 12 Tortillas.
