  • 1/3 cup of water

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla

Savory tortilla ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cup AP flour (1/2 tbsp extra if needed)

  • 1/3 cup of water

  • 1/3 cup of pumpkin puree

  • 1/4 cup of butter vegetable shortening 

  • 1/2 tsp salt


Instructions:

  1. In a blender, combine water, pumpkin puree, tablespoon of pumpkin spice, sugar, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.

  2. In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour with salt. Add shortening and combine until it looks like a crumble.

  3. Create a well in the flour mixture and add the blended pumpkin ingredients. Combine until you have a sticky, soft dough.

  4. Knead the dough for 3 minutes. If it's still slightly sticky, add 1/2 tablespoon of flour.

  5. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes in a warm spot.

  6. After letting the dough rest for ten minutes in a warm spot, take portions of the dough and shape them into balls. Warm up a little bit of butter shortening in your hands to prevent sticking.

  7. Cover the balls with a warm, damp cloth and let them rest for another 10 minutes.

  8. After the resting period, take each masa ball and gently press it into some flour to lightly coat it.

  9. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a tortilla shape on a floured surface.

  10. Cook the tortillas in a cast-iron skillet until they are soft and pliable.

  11. Serve the tortillas with butter, cinnamon sugar, or a whipped pumpkin spice cheesecake mixture.


Tips:

-One helpful tip for making round tortillas is to ensure that you press the dough down in a circular motion evenly. This will help in shaping the tortilla into a round shape.

-Additionally, using a little flour on the counter and on the dough can prevent sticking and make it easier to shape the tortillas.

Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking and preferences. Enjoy your delicious pumpkin spice tortillas!
