Description
These flour tortillas, made with vegetable oil, are easy to make with simple ingredients and no special equipment. They’re soft, flexible, and totally worth it when you have a little extra time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the vegetable oil and warm water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 1–2 minutes, just until it forms a ball. It doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth.
- Divide into 14 equal pieces and roll into balls.
- Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let rest for 30–45 minutes.
- Place a ball of dough on a cutting board and cover it with a piece of parchment paper. Roll it into a thin circle, about 6 inches wide.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 30–45 seconds on the first side, then 15–20 seconds after flipping.
- Remove the flour tortilla and wrap it with a kitchen towel or foil. Keep making the rest of the tortillas.
