Method
Preparation Instructions
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the vegetable oil and water, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide and Shape
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
Cook the Tortillas
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side until lightly browned and cooked through.
Serve
Keep the cooked tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve. Enjoy with your favorite fillings!
