On Sunday, I decided to make homemade tortillas! I just looooove Mexican food {it's my fav!}, and I love going to a restaurant and having made-from-scratch tortillas.
Little did I know just how easy it was to make them! I grabbed this recipe from Childhood 101.
You will need:
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. of salt
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup warm water
1. In a mixer, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
2. Add the oil and water and mix until the dough starts to form a ball.
3. Place the dough on a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth. This is how you knead:
Hehe!!
4. Divide the dough into sixteen balls. Flatten the balls with your palm.
5. Cover the pieces with a clean tea towel {or I just used a big paper towel} and let it be for 15 minutes.
6. Heat a frying pan. One at a time, roll out the dough until it is very, very thin.
7. Place the dough on the frying pan until a few golden spots appear. Cook on both sides.
You're welcome, people! These were the BEST tortillas I've ever tasted! :)
