Servings 8 7" tortillas
Calories 160kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour you can use whole wheat if you prefer
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt.
- Add the water and oil and stir until a dough starts to form. Mix together first with a large spoon, then with your hands if it gets too hard with a spoon.
- Once your dough is combined, place on a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth. Cover with a clean towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a 7" circle trying to get it very thin. Place each tortilla on a piece of parchment or wax paper and stack.
- In a greased cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook tortillas over medium heat until lightly browned. Watch them carefully because it will take less than 1 minute to cook on each side.
- Once the tortillas are cooked, transfer to a tortilla warmer or plate and cover with a clean cloth. Enjoy!
