Add fat
Pour in the warm oil and mix with the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add water gradually

Knead
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 3–5 minutes.

Rest
Cover dough and let rest for 15–20 minutes to relax the gluten.

Cook
Heat a dry skillet or comal over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla about 1 minute per side, until brown spots appear and the tortilla puffs slightly.
