Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously. Continue to mix until the dough comes together. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a bit more water.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions. You should get approximately 10-12 balls, depending on the desired size of your tortillas.
- On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, round disc. Aim for about 6-8 inches in diameter. You can use a rolling pin or the palms of your hands.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. It's essential to have a hot surface for cooking the tortillas.
- Place a rolled-out tortilla onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until small bubbles appear on the surface.
- Once you see bubbles, flip the tortilla and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. You should see light golden brown spots on both sides. (If flour accumulates in the skillet, wipe it between tortillas with a damp paper towel.)
- As you cook each tortilla, place them on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. This keeps them warm and pliable.
