Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional, for taste)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- for frying Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt substitute if using.
Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the warm water to the mixture, stirring until a dough begins to form. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a thin layer of vegetable oil for frying.
On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
Carefully place one tortilla at a time into the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until puffy and golden brown.
Remove the cooked tortillas from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the fried tortillas warm with your favorite toppings or as a side to your favorite dish.
