PdfIngredients (makes ~8 medium tortillas):
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Add wet ingredients: Pour in the warm water and oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Knead: Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a bit more water.
Rest: Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 15–30 minutes. This helps make the tortillas easier to roll out.
Divide and roll: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then roll out into a thin circle (about 6–8 inches wide).
Cook: Heat a dry skillet (preferably cast iron or nonstick) over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30–60 seconds per side, until you see bubbles and golden spots.
Keep warm: Stack cooked tortillas in a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft and warm.
