Tortillas
First try at making homemade tortillas.

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in the oil with your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Pour in the warm water and stir until a rough dough forms. If it feels dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time. Turn the dough onto a counter and knead for about 2 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 20–30 minutes — this is what makes them soft and easy to roll. Divide into 8 equal balls. Roll each one into a thin circle (6–8 inches). Heat a dry skillet over medium?high. Cook each tortilla for about 30–45 seconds per side until it bubbles and gets light brown spots. Stack them in a towel to keep them soft. |
