Homemade Tortillas

Mix together:

2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt (optional)

In a bowl or glass measuring cup microwave 3/4 cup water for 30 seconds. Add 2 tsp olive oil.

1 Tbsp at a time, add the water/oil to the flour mixture and mix with a fork. Once the water is mixed in, add another Tbsp...etc. Until you have added all the water.

Put dough on a lightly floured board and knead 4 minutes. Place back in bowl and cover with a moist towel for 20 minutes.

Divide the dough into 8 balls and cover with the damp cloth for another 10 minutes.

Roll each ball into a thin tortilla. Meanwhile preheat a cast iron pan on med-high heat.

Put a tortilla on the pan (no oil or anything). Squash any bubbles with a spatula and after 30 seconds, flip. After another 30 seconds, remove. Don't overcook.


Fill with beans, grilled peppers/onions, cheese, guacamole, etc!
