Homemade Tortillas
I love making homemade tortillas because they are so soft and delicious. There's nothing like fresh tortillas to go with tacos, burritos, or even just as a snack. It’s really simple, and once you try it, you’ll never want to buy store-bought tortillas again!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions
- First, I mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- I add the vegetable oil and warm water to the bowl and mix everything together until it forms a dough.
- I knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes until it’s smooth. Then, I let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- After resting, I divide the dough into 8 equal balls.
- I roll each ball into a flat circle about 6 inches wide.
- I heat a pan over medium heat and cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side, or until they start to puff up and have light brown spots.
- Once cooked, I stack the tortillas and cover them with a clean towel to keep them warm.
Notes
Enjoy these homemade tortillas! They are perfect for any Mexican meal or as a snack with some butter.
