Create soft and delicious homemade flour tortillas with this easy-to-follow recipe. Perfect for wraps, tacos, or enjoying on their own.
Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of the leavening agent.
Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.
Using your fingers to mix the oil helps achieve the right texture.
Gradually pour in the warm milk while mixing until a soft dough forms.
Add the milk slowly to avoid making the dough too wet.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Proper kneading develops gluten, giving the tortillas their elasticity.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Resting the dough allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Keeping the dough balls covered prevents them from drying out.
Roll out each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
Rolling the dough evenly ensures uniform cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla for 30 seconds on each side.
Cook until light brown spots appear, indicating they are done.
Keep the cooked tortillas warm in a kitchen towel while cooking the rest.
Stacking the tortillas and covering them keeps them soft and pliable.
Serve the tortillas warm with your favorite fillings or as a side.
Warm tortillas enhance the flavor of your dish.
