Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• About 3/4 cup warm water

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
2. Add the oil and mix with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the warm water, a little at a time, and knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball.
4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into 8-12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
6. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a thin round, about 7-8 inches in diameter.
7. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side, until lightly browned.
8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later use.
