Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour I prefer organic flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt I prefer pink Himalayan salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil I prefer organic sunflower oil
  • 1 cup warm-hot water (not boiling)

Equipment

  • Rolling pin
  • Cast iron or non-stick large skillet

Method
 

  1. Make the dough: Add all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together.
  2. Mix the oil and water together in a mixing cup. Then, make a well in the center of the dry flour mixture and pour the water/oil mixture.
  3. Use a wooden spoon to mix the dough together. Once mixed, use your hands to gently knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. Add extra flour if the dough is sticky.
  4. Use your hands to roll approximately 16 golf ball sized balls of dough. Put on a floured surface or on a silicone mat and let rest for 15 minutes.
  5. After resting, use your palm to push down a ball. Roll each dough ball into a 6 inch circle or until it is very thin.
  6. Cook the tortillas: Place a cast iron or non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, place one uncooked tortilla onto the skillet. Cook for 30-60 seconds on each side, until golden brown and you see some brown spots.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!
