Tortillas

Method:

Put the flour and olive oil in a processor and pulse. Add the hot water through the feed tube, process until the dough comes together. Leave to stand for 10 minutes. Add the Green Onion Seasoning and mix really well. Knead lightly on a well floured work surface. Place in an oiled mixing bowl and cover with clingfilm. Stand at room temperature overnight until ready to cook.

Divide the dough into 1/3's.

Roll out thinly on a well-floured table, turning and re-flouring the surface at regular intervals. Cut out 15 - 20 cm circles using the lid of a saucepan. Spread the circles a little more with your hands or a rolling pin. Toast dry, in a pre-heated non-stick pan. Layer between clean damp muslin or baking paper.
