Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tsp Seasoned Salt Table salt is fine too.
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • Cup Olive Oil Other neutral oils are also fine.
  • 1 Cup Warm Water

Instructions

Make the Dough

  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, and seasoned salt in your mixer bowl.
  • With mixer on medium, add oil and water until dough begins to form.
  • Mix dough with dough hook on low for about a minute.

Roll out the Tortillas

  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface.
  • Divide dough into 16 equal pieces (less if you want larger tortillas).
  • Form each dough piece into a ball. Flatten with your hand, then cover with a towel and rest for 15 minutes.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece until it's about 6-7" in diameter. Be sure to keep both your work surface and rolling pin lightly floured to avoid sticking.

Cook the Tortillas

  • Heat a skillet (I used a cast iron) over medium heat.
  • Put one tortilla in the pan and cook on one side for about 1 minute, or until it begins to turn pale brown and bubbly.
  • Flip the tortilla and cook for an additional 20-30 seconds.
  • Remove from pan. Use immediately or store covered or in a sealed bag for future use.
