In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix with your hands or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the hot water, a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together into a soft, smooth ball. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until it is elastic and pliable. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
On a floured surface, roll out one ball of dough into a thin, round tortilla (about 7-8 inches in diameter). Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly spritz it with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles start to form and the bottom has light golden spots. Flip and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds on the other side.
Transfer the cooked tortilla to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Serve warm or allow to cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
