Tortilla Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Add Oil

    Stir in the vegetable oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add the warm water, mixing until a dough forms. You may need to adjust the water slightly depending on the humidity.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

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

  5. 5

    Rest the Dough

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

  6. 6

    Divide and Roll

    After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thick.

  7. 7

    Cook Tortillas

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

  8. 8

    Serve

    Keep the cooked tortillas warm in a towel until ready to serve.
