Easy Tortilla Recipe
Description
This Easy Tortilla Recipe combines 3 cups of flour with salt and baking powder, incorporates neutral cooking oil and water, and kneads to form a non-sticky dough. After resting for about 10 minutes, the dough is divided into 16 equal portions and rolled into thin, round tortillas on a well-floured surface. Cooking each tortilla on a preheated medium-heat skillet until just browned ensures a tender but slightly chewy texture.
The tortillas hold together well and maintain flexibility, making them suitable for filling with various ingredients or serving alongside dishes as a bread alternative. Keeping the cooked tortillas in a tortilla warmer or wrapped in a kitchen towel helps retain softness until consumption.
