Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

  • 1 cup warm water

Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2: Add the melted butter and warm water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 5–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 3: Cover the dough and let rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a smooth ball.

Step 5: Cover again and allow the dough balls to rest another 15 minutes.

Step 6: On a lightly floured surface, flatten each ball and roll very thin.

Step 7: Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Step 8: Cook each tortilla for about 30-60 seconds per side, flipping as soon as bubbles appear.

Step 9: Transfer finished tortillas to a plate and keep covered with a damp towel until ready to serve.
