Ingredients
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
0.33 cup vegetable oil
1 cup warm water
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
2. Create a well in the center and pour in the vegetable oil and warm water. Stir until a dough begins to form.
3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Cover and rest for 20-30 minutes.
5. Roll out each dough ball into an 8-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
6. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 1 minute per side, or until golden spots appear.
7. Stack tortillas in a clean towel to keep warm and soft until ready to serve.
Notes
Always let the dough rest before rolling to prevent shrinking.
Use a cast iron pan for the best char and texture.
To reheat, warm on a dry skillet or microwave with a damp paper towel.
