Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.75 cups warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the baking powder and salt.
Step 2
Add olive oil to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to blend it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the warm water, mixing continuously with your hands until a dough begins to form. If needed, add a little more warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is supple but not sticky.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and let them rest, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 10 minutes. This resting period will make rolling them out easier.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6 to 7 inches in diameter. Try to make the tortillas as thin as possible without tearing.
Step 8
Place each tortilla on the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they develop light golden spots. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Step 9
Remove cooked tortillas from the skillet and stack them on a clean towel, covering them to keep warm.
Step 10
Serve the tortillas warm or at room temperature with your favorite taco fillings. Enjoy your low-fat homemade taco tortillas!
