Tortillas

Ingredients

• • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 3/4 cup water

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Preparation

• 1. Sift the flour and salt together in a mixing bowl.

  2. Pre-heat a small amount of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.

  3. Stir oil and water into the flour, mixing with hands when it gets doughy, until well combined.

  4. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough about 12 times, forming it into a ball.

  5. Cut the ball in half, then cut the halves in half, then cut those in half again. You should have 8 small pieces of dough.

  6. Using a rolling pin, gently roll one piece of dough into a thin, round tortilla (about 8" in diameter).

  7. Transfer the tortilla to the pan and cook until lightly browned, then flip and cook the other side (about 1 minute per side).

  8. Transfer the cooked tortilla to a plate, and repeat steps 6-8 until all pieces of dough are cooked.

  9. Serve warm, or let cool, wrap, and store in the refrigerator (re-heat in a microwave when ready to use).
