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.
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).
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!
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.
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.
