# Ingredients List:
→ Dough
01 -
195 g all-purpose flour
02 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
03 -
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
04 -
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
05 -
120 ml warm water
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until evenly incorporated.
02 -
Pour the vegetable oil and warm water into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a shaggy dough.
03 -
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and soft, about 1 to 2 minutes.
04 -
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball. Cover the dough balls and let them rest for 15–20 minutes to relax the gluten.
05 -
On a floured work surface, roll each ball out into a very thin circle, less than 3 mm thick.
06 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place one rolled-out dough round into the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden spots appear on the underside and bubbles form on top.
07 -
Flip the tortilla and cook for 30 seconds, until golden spots develop. Remove and wrap in a tea towel or place in a covered tortilla keeper to stay warm and pliable.
08 -
Repeat rolling and cooking with remaining dough balls, keeping finished tortillas covered to maintain softness until serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Freshly made tortillas are best enjoyed immediately; store covered to retain moisture and prevent drying.
