Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 bottle Spray cooking oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough starts to come together.
Step 3
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until you have a smooth and elastic dough.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover them with a damp cloth to prevent drying while working on them one by one.
Step 5
Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a thin round tortilla, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, spray a thin layer of cooking oil onto the surface.
Step 7
Place one tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until brown spots appear and the tortilla starts to puff up.
Step 8
Flip the tortilla and spray a small amount of cooking oil on the second side. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until it is crispy.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, ensuring to spray the skillet with oil as needed between each tortilla.
Step 10
Once cooked, place the tortillas on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
