Large mixing bowl
Greased cast-iron skillet or another heavy skillet
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil (Note 1)
Instructions
Combine flour and salt in the mixing bowl.
Stir in water and oil until fully incorporated.
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface (cutting board, counter or pastry cloth).
Knead 10 to 12 times. If too sticky, add a little flour and work it in with your hands. Too stiff? Add water as needed to achieve a smooth dough
Let rest in the bowl for 10 minutes
Using a knife, cut the dough into 8 portions.
On your lightly floured surface, roll each portion in a circle approximately 7-in.
Cook the tortillas one at a time over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute, on each side. Serve immediately, or keep warm.
Notes
Other oils or fats will do here. In fact, traditionally, flour tortillas are made with lard. Alternatively, you can use shortening or coconut oil. If solid, you will want to cut in that lard, shortening, etc, instead of stirring it in.
If the dough is too "elastic" and springy when you try to roll it out, let it rest a few more minutes until it calms down.
The secret to tender tortillas, is to cook them quickly on a hot surface. But you don't want them to burn. So watch carefully, adjusting the temperature as needed.
Rather have tortilla chips? Cut the rolled out dough into wedges and bake them in a 350 F. oven until crisp. Sprinkle with salt or other seasonings of choice.
