Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup oil (olive oil, vegetable oil, or other neutral oil)
1 cup warm water
Instructions
1. Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
2. Add the oil and warm water, then stir to form a shaggy dough.
3. Knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes smooth.
4. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into 8 to 10 equal portions and shape them into balls.
6. Roll each dough ball into a thin circle about 6 to 7 inches in diameter.
7. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat.
8. Cook each tortilla for 45 to 60 seconds per side until light brown spots appear.
9. Stack the cooked tortillas in a covered container to keep them soft and pliable.
10. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.
Notes
Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes to relax the gluten, making it easier to roll out.
Use a hot, dry skillet to cook the tortillas quickly, creating soft and pliable results with light brown spots.
Stack the cooked tortillas in a covered container or wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
