Homemade Flour Tortilla
Ingredients
1 & ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, spoon and leveled
½ teaspoon salt
1 & ½ teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup (120mL) warm water
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
- Add vegetable oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together into a ball. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until it becomes smooth and soft (about 1 to 2 minutes).
- Divide and shape the dough into 8 even balls. Cover and let the balls rest for 15-20 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball of dough out until it’s very thin (under ⅛ inch). Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place on tortilla into the skillet and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on the first side. You’ll know it’s time to flip once the bottom has golden brown spots and the top starts to bubble and puff up.
- Flip your dough and cook the other side until you start to see golden spots (about 30 seconds). Take the tortilla out of your skillet and place it on a tea towel lined plate or a tortilla keeper. Cover the dough with a tea towel or lid to prevent it from drying out.
- Repeat the cooking and covering process with your remaining dough. Make sure you leave your tortillas tightly covered until you’re just ready to serve to prevent having them dry out.
- Tortillas are best served fresh and warm.
