Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Hot chile powder
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Minced fresh chili (such as jalapeño or Serrano)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and hot chile powder.
Add the vegetable oil and minced chili to the dry mixture. Use your hands or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the warm water while stirring with a spoon. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then cover them with a clean kitchen towel to rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
On a floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a thin circle, roughly 8 inches in diameter.
Place the rolled-out dough onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until bubbles start to form and the underside develops light brown spots.
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side. Remove from the skillet and place onto a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel.
Repeat steps 7-9 with the remaining dough balls, stacking the cooked tortillas in the towel to keep them warm and soft.
Serve your hot chile tortillas fresh as a spicy base for tacos, wraps, or as a side to your favorite dishes!
