Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¾ cup warm water
Instructions
- Add the flour, salt and baking powder together and mix with a fork. Add the water and oil and mix again until a dough forms.
- Put the dough on a floured board or countertop and knead for about 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in a glass bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.
- Then, cut the dough into 8 pieces
- Roll each portion into a ball and place between two pieces of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin, 8-10” tortilla.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla until slightly charred and large bubbles form. Flip and cook on the other side.
- Remove to a plate and cook the rest. Enjoy!
Notes

- If you don’t have a rolling pin, you can just use a bottle of wine or a similar sized bottle like I use in the photos!
- You can also use a stand mixer to knead the dough if you prefer
- Store your tortillas in a plastic resealable bag. Add a paper towel into the bag so that the paper towel will absorb any moisture in the air before the tortillas do.
