Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt to ensure even distribution.
- Pour in the vegetable oil and mix it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture and stir until it begins to come together into a dough.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 8-10 equal balls and cover with a damp cloth. Let them rest for 15-30 minutes.
Cooking
- On a floured surface, roll out each ball of dough into a thin, even circle about ¼ inch thick.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and place one rolled tortilla onto the dry skillet, cooking for about 30 seconds until bubbles form.
- Flip the tortilla and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Stack the cooked tortillas in a dish and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Notes
To store, place in an airtight container or wrap in foil or parchment paper. Refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
