Whole Wheat Tortillas

I'd been meaning to try these for a while, and honestly thought they'd be harder.  The recipe is simple -- basically 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and enough warm water to bring it together (about a half cup).  That amount makes a dozen 8-10 inch tortillas.  I was afraid they would be hard to roll out, but they actually came together really well.  The only problem I had is that it's tricky to find the right temperature on your pan.  Also, I think you have to use cast-iron or enameled cast-iron (I used this, which I just bought yesterday since I had a gift card to use).
