Tortilla Ingredients

Method

Tortilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the vegetable oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix with a fork or your hands until the dough comes together.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Divide and Roll

    After resting, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it with a rolling pin into a thin circle.

  6. 6

    Cook the Tortillas

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side or until lightly browned and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Keep Warm

    As you cook the tortillas, keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tortillas warm with your favorite fillings or sides.
