Ingredients
Scale
- 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (195g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup warm water (120mL)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to blend.
- Pour in the vegetable oil and warm water, mixing until the dough forms a ball.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 8 balls, cover with a damp cloth, and let rest for 15-20 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll each ball out to just under 1/8 inch thick.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear.
- Transfer cooked tortillas to a plate lined with a tea towel to keep warm.
Notes
Too much flour makes the dough tough; add flour 1 tablespoon at a time if sticky. Store tortillas in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
