These homemade tortillas are soft, fluffy, and perfect for any meal. They're easy to make and taste amazing.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of the baking powder.
Add the vegetable oil and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Add the water gradually to avoid making the dough too sticky.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Kneading helps develop the gluten, giving the tortillas their structure.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Roll each ball into a thin, round tortilla using a rolling pin.
Roll from the center outward to achieve an even thickness.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Flip the tortilla when bubbles form on the surface for even cooking.
Stack the cooked tortillas and cover them with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
Keeping the tortillas covered helps retain their softness.
