Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup warm water
- 0.5 cup additional vegetable oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Add 0.25 cup of vegetable oil to the dry mixture. Using your fingers, work the oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Slowly pour the warm water into the mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
Step 6
After resting, flatten each ball into a disk and roll each disk into a thin circle, approximately 8 inches in diameter, using a floured rolling pin.
Step 7
Heat 0.5 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 8
Fry each tortilla individually in the hot oil, cooking for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip the tortillas and ensure an even fry.
Step 9
Transfer the fried tortillas to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately while they are crispy. Enjoy these vegan fried flour tortillas as a delightful snack, or use them as a base for your favorite toppings.
