Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.75 cups Hot water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually add the hot water to the bowl, stirring with a fork or wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead it for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough balls rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Avoid adding any oil or grease to keep the tortillas fat-free.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circular tortilla, approximately 8 inches in diameter.
Place one rolled-out tortilla onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 30-45 seconds or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the bottom has light golden-brown spots.
Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds, pressing gently with a spatula if needed to ensure even cooking.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
Serve the tortillas immediately, or let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
