Flour Tortillas

Recipe Makes: 12 Tortillas

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time 1 minute for each tortilla

about 12-15 minutes for the whole recipe

Total Time: about 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 2/3 cup water; hot

¼ cup oil (vegetable, corn, or olive oil)

DIRECTIONS:

1. In the large bowl, combine together flour and salt. Add in hot water and vegetable oil. Mix/knead until well combined and a dough ball forms. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
2. Split the dough in half on a well floured surface. And split the half into 6 even pieces. Roll out each piece until its about ¼ inch thick. You can leave it with the uneven edges, I like to because it makes them look more authentic, or you could use a plate to cut out the shape. Repeat until you have 12 tortillas.
3. Heat a medium/large size pan up to medium heat and place a your rolled tortilla. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Keep watch, once the dough starts to bubble up a little check the side that’s cooking. Once the side is golden brown, flip it. Cook the other side for about 30 seconds or until golden brown.
4. Cover with a kitchen towel until ready to serve. Enjoy!
