Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.75 cups warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the baking powder and salt.
Add olive oil to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to blend it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the warm water, mixing continuously with your hands until a dough begins to form. If needed, add a little more warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is supple but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and let them rest, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 10 minutes. This resting period will make rolling them out easier.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6 to 7 inches in diameter. Try to make the tortillas as thin as possible without tearing.
Place each tortilla on the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they develop light golden spots. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Remove cooked tortillas from the skillet and stack them on a clean towel, covering them to keep warm.
Serve the tortillas warm or at room temperature with your favorite taco fillings. Enjoy your low-fat homemade taco tortillas!
