Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
- 0.75 cups warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour mixture and mix well using your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, mixing continuously with a fork until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a thin, round tortilla approximately 8 inches in diameter.
Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place one tortilla into the oil.
Fry the tortilla for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, or until it is golden brown and crisp.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the tortilla from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortillas, ensuring that the oil temperature remains consistent.
Serve the tortillas warm as a snack or use them as a base for your favorite dairy-free toppings.
