Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, olive oil, and water until smooth. Add the flour and salt, then mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead by hand or with a dough hook for about 2 minutes until smooth.
- Perform one set of stretch and folds: gently pull one side of the dough up and fold it over the center. Rotate the bowl and repeat on all four sides.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Divide the rested dough into 8 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a thin round, about 6 inches in diameter. Stack them with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Cook each tortilla for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until bubbles appear and the surface is lightly browned. Do not turn the heat up too high, or the tortillas will become crisp instead of soft.
- Serve warm, or let cool completely before storing. Keep in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes
For extra flavor, use a California olive oil. If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon more flour. Letting the dough rest is key for soft tortillas. You can use a tortilla press for even thickness. These tortillas reheat well in a dry skillet.
