Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup warm water
Instructions

2. Add vegetable oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually pour in warm water while stirring until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth.
5. Divide dough into 10–12 balls, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes.
6. Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6–8 inches in diameter.
7. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla for 30–60 seconds per side.
8. Keep cooked tortillas warm in a towel or tortilla warmer until serving.
Notes
Use warm water to help bind the dough and improve texture.
Make sure your skillet is hot before cooking to ensure puffing.
Letting the dough rest is essential for easier rolling and softer tortillas.
