Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.3333333333333333 cup Vegetable oil or lard
- 1 cup Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir to combine.
Add the vegetable oil (or lard) to the dry ingredients. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
Slowly pour in the warm water, a little at a time, while stirring with a spoon or your hand. Continue until the dough starts coming together.
Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a tiny bit of flour; if it’s too dry, add a splash of water.
Divide the kneaded 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 to relax the gluten, making them easier to roll out.
After resting, lightly flour your work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a thin, round tortilla about 7-8 inches in diameter. The shape doesn't have to be perfect!
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a tortilla on the skillet. Cook for about 30-40 seconds or until bubbles form and light brown spots appear. Flip and cook for another 20-30 seconds on the other side.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining tortillas, stacking the cooked ones under a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Serve the tortillas warm with your favorite fillings or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, they can be frozen.
