🥣 Instructions:
1. Mix the Dough:
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
-
Add oil and warm water.
-
Mix with a fork or hands until a rough dough forms.
2. Knead:
-
Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
-
Knead for about 2–3 minutes until smooth and soft.
-
Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes (this helps with rolling and softness).
3. Divide and Roll:
-
Divide dough into 8 equal pieces.
-
Roll each piece into a ball.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle (6–8 inches in diameter). Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly round!
4. Cook the Tortillas:
-
Heat a dry skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat until hot.
-
Cook each tortilla for about 30–45 seconds per side, or until golden spots appear and it puffs slightly.
-
Keep warm in a towel as you cook the rest.
👩🍳 Tips:
-
Don’t overcook or they’ll become stiff — just a light golden brown is perfect.
-
If tortillas are stiff after cooling, reheat with a damp paper towel in the microwave for 10 seconds.
-
For extra soft tortillas, stack them in a clean kitchen towel to trap steam as they cool.
