Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add oil and water
Add the vegetable oil to the flour mixture and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the warm water, stirring until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
Knead the dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Rest the dough
Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide and shape the dough
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a thin, round tortilla, about 6 inches in diameter.
Cook the tortillas
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla on the hot surface and cook for 30-45 seconds or until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip the tortilla and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds or until lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Serve
Serve the Homemade Tortillas warm, or use them to make your favorite Mexican dishes like tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.
