Easy Tortilla Recipe

Easy Tortilla Recipe produces soft flour tortillas using simple ingredients like flour, salt, baking powder, oil, and water. The dough is kneaded until smooth, rested briefly, then rolled into thin rounds and cooked on a hot skillet until lightly browned. These homemade tortillas offer a pliable texture ideal for wraps or tacos and can be kept warm until serving.

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.
