Recipe Card
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 cup sliced scallions
- 1 cup warm water
Instructions
- Put the flour, salt and baking powder in the stand mixer. Turn on for a few seconds to mix the dry ingredients together.
- Add the water, sesame oil, scallions and canola oil. Turn on the dough hook and let it start combining.
- Stop to scrape the dry ingredients off the side if they are not incorporating well into each other. Keep the dough hook running until the dough is a smooth ball.
- Put a bit of flour onto a flat surface. Cut the dough in half, then each half in half, etc until you have about 16 equal pieces.
- Truth be told, since I wanted a street taco vibe for this dinner, I made a few even smaller [it would make 32 of those].
- Then using your palm, flatten the balls as much as you can. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then roll as thin as you can.
- Put into a skillet that has been brushed with some canola oil and cook on each side for 10-15 seconds.
- Put onto a plate and cover with damp paper towel.
- If at any point in the process it feels sticky once you have the ball of dough, add some more flour. When rolling if sticky add a bit of flour, but just be careful because if you put too much you'll taste flour when eating the tortillas.

Note from Sabrina
For the softest, most pliable tortillas, let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes before rolling it out. This gives the gluten time to relax, making the dough easier to work with and helping the tortillas cook up tender instead of springing back as you roll. If the dough starts resisting while rolling, let it rest for another 5–10 minutes before continuing.

About this Recipe
Sesame Scallion tortillas are really no more difficult than making any other tortillas. A stand mixer and a dough hook brings the dough together in minutes and after a 15 minute resting period, they are ready to be cooked. Make your tortillas thinner to use for Taco Tuesday or a sandwich wraps. Or make them thicker for the perfect base for your flatbread pizza.
Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes, you can prep the dough in advance and shape them into balls. Set them on a baking sheet and cover in plastic before storing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also store fully cook your tortillas. Keep them in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to have them on hand during the week.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- When mixing, stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the dry ingredients off the side if they are not incorporating well into each other. Keep the dough hook running until the dough is a smooth ball.
- Put a bit of flour onto a flat surface. Cut the dough in half, then each half in half, etc until you have about 16 equal pieces.
- If the ball of dough it feels sticky, add some more flour. When rolling if sticky add a bit of flour, but just be careful because if you put too much you’ll taste flour when eating the tortillas.

I use tahina instead of sesame oil and I don’t brush the pan with oil. It’s not necessary with the high quantity of oil in the recipe.
Sorry, I missed when you add the scallions?
