Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup hot water (approx. 150°F / 65°C)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt until well combined.
  2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the vegetable oil and hot water. Use a sturdy spatula to stir until a shaggy dough mass forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 2 minutes until the surface is matte and smooth.
  4. Divide the dough into 12 to 14 equal portions, roughly the size of a golf ball. Roll each portion into a smooth sphere.
  5. Cover the dough balls with a damp kitchen towel and let them rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the moisture to distribute evenly.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin 7-inch circle using a rolling pin.
  7. Preheat a cast iron skillet or heavy griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 45-60 seconds per side until air pockets form and brown spots appear. Keep cooked tortillas wrapped in a clean towel to steam and stay soft.
