Tortilla Ingredients

Method

Tortilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.

  4. 4

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Divide and Roll

    Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 6-8 inches in diameter.

  6. 6

    Cook the Tortillas

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve Warm

    Serve the tortillas warm, either as a side or as a wrap for your favorite fillings.
