In a stand mixer with the dough whisk, add sourdough discard, olive oil, flour, salt and mix together on low. Slowly add in the water until the dough comes together.
Knead in the stand mixer for 5-6 minutes (or knead with your hands for more control).
Cover with a damp towel and let the dough rest for 30-45 minutes.
Using your bench scraper or large knife, separate the dough into 16 - 18 equally sized pieces (the dough balls should range anywhere between 30 - 40 grams if you are weighing it out)
For this part you have three options -
1. If you have a tortilla press - this, obviously, would be a great time to use it.
2. I have come to love using the pasta maker to roll the tortillas out as thin and evenly as possible. .
3. Or, place a dough ball in between to pieces of parchment paper and roll it out as thin as you can with a rolling pin.
In a preheated cast iron, melt ½ a tablespoon of coconut oil over high heat. Place your tortillas in the middle of the hot cast iron and cook for 1 minute. Flip and cook for an additional 30 - 45 seconds.
Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with just a touch of salt while the tortillas are hot.
Make your favorite taco and enjoy!
