Flour Tortilla Recipe

By mnhenselen

Ingredients

• 3 c. flour
• 1 t. salt
• 1/3 c. oil
• 1 c. warm water

Preparation

Step 1

Mix flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Cut in oil with a fork. Slowly incorporate water, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. [You will probably NOT use the entire 1 c. of warm water. I usually use closer to 3/4 c.] If you have an electric stove, preheat pan to medium heat.

Form 2 inch balls of dough.

Roll balls flat with a rolling pin.

Roll the dough as flat as you possibly can. Think it’s flat enough? Press harder. If you try for paper thin, you’ll probably end up with cardstock thin and it’ll be perfect.

Place tortilla in hot pan, when it bubbles nicely then flip it. Cook second side until brown spots form.
