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.
