Homemade All-Purpose Flour Tortillas

1Mixing the Dough In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt (½ teaspoon), and baking powder (½ teaspoon). Add the vegetable oil (3 tablespoons) and mix well.

2Kneading the Dough Gradually add the warm water (¾ cup) to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

3Resting the Dough Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15-20 minutes to relax the gluten.

4Dividing the Dough Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball.

5Rolling Out the Tortillas On a floured surface, roll each ball of dough into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.

6Cooking the Tortillas Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until lightly browned and puffed.
