Perfect Homemade Flour Tortillas (Only 5 Ingredients)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/3 cup canola oil or crisco or butter crisco works best
  • 1 cup warm water

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together flour, salt, and baking powder. With the mixer running, add in oil and water and mix until a smooth dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured cutting board and divide into 16 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly.
  • Let dough rest for 15 minutes and heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll one ball of dough at a time into a thin circle.
  • Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Transfer cooked tortillas to a plate and repeat with remaining dough.
  • ENJOY!
