Make them at home. It’s easy and fun.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8

Ingredients

Units
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (I use a cup of white flour, and a cup of whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water.
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder—fluff with a fork.
  2. Add the oil and water mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until dough forms. It should be moist and elastic.
  3. Let stand for 1 hour covered with a damp cloth (I forgot the damp cloth, so the dough got a crust).

  4. Cut into eight servings. Roll each portion until it is the size of a salad plate, about 18 cm in diameter. Keep tortillas covered with a wet cloth and separated from each other.
