Grilled Flour Tortillas

Makes 8 ten inch tortillas

2 cups all purpose unbleached flour
2 tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
More flour to prevent sticking when you roll out the tortillas.

Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Add water. Stir and knead 'til dough comes together into ball. Dough will be fairly dry.
Cover with damp towel. Let rest at least 1/2 hour.

Divide dough into eight pieces. Recover with towel, removing one piece at a time for shaping into tortilla.

Lightly flour work surface and roll tortilla 'til about 1/16th inch thick. Add flour as needed to prevent sticking. I usually roll from the center out, turning the tortilla by quarter turns and flipping over periodically. When it is thin enough, sprinkle with flour and set aside.

Continue with remaining seven dough portions, flouring and stacking them as you finish. Cover with slightly damp towel.

Light grill (or charcoal). All grate to get hot. Place tortillas on grill, one to three at a time or however many will fit without overlapping. When bubble begin to puff in tortilla (1-2 minutes), lightly deflate them and turn tortillas. Continue grilling 1 or two minutes. Place on platter or cookie sheet and cover with damp towel. Stack the torillas as they finish and cover with towel.

Fill and eat immediately, or place tortillas in airtight container and refrigerate.
