Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

2
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.

3
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.

4
Rest the dough

Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

5
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.

6
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.

7
Serve

Serve the Homemade Tortillas warm, or use them to make your favorite Mexican dishes like tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.
