1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of baking powder. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
2
Add Wet Ingredients
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in 3 tbs of warm water and 2 tbs of olive oil. Mix with a fork or your hands until a dough starts to form.

3
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
4
Let it Rest
Place the kneaded dough back in the mixing bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

5
Shape the Tortillas
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin into a thin circle (about 6-8 inches in diameter).
6
Cook the Tortillas
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep cooked tortillas warm in a towel.
