Tortilla Ingredients
Method
Tortilla Preparation
- 1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 tsp of baking powder, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- 2
Add Wet Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 3 tbs of vegetable oil and 3 tbs of warm water into the well. Use a fork or your hands to gradually mix the flour into the wet ingredients until a dough starts to form.

Knead Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- 4
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps the gluten relax, making it easier to roll out.
- 5
Divide the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly.

Roll Out Tortillas
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.

Cook the Tortillas
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep them warm in a towel while cooking the remaining tortillas.
