2 Tortillas Recipe

Preparation of Tortillas

1. 1

   Mix Dry Ingredients

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

2. 2

   Add Wet Ingredients

   Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the water and olive oil. Mix with a fork or your hands until the dough begins to come together.

3. 3

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes until the dough 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 15 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.

5. 5

   Divide and Roll

   After resting, divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a flat circle about 1/8 inch thick.

6. 6

   Cook the Tortillas

   Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 1 minute on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Repeat with the second tortilla.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove the tortillas from the skillet and keep them warm in a towel until ready to serve.
