Place all ingredients in your bread maker pan. Select the dough cycle and press start.

The dough should form a nice ball of dough. You may need to add a tablespoon of water or flour to get it there. When the dough cycle is finished kneading, stop the machine and remove the dough to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in to 8 equal size chunks.

On a lightly floured surface coat both sides of the dough with flour and roll out thinly to a round shape.

Cook one tortilla at a time in a heavy frying pan lightly coated with oil. Cook for 2 minutes on each side or until they have dark brown looking spots. Remove from the pan to a plate and cover with a towel.

Tip

Brown bread flour or a mix half brown half white also works well.
