How to make Tortilla

Ingredients:

2 cups flour (you can be creative with your flour choices like whole Wheat, All purpose flour, soy, or a mixture of flours)
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp baking powder
1⁄2 cup warm water

Method:

1. Sift the flour, salt & baking powder into a large mixing bowl.

7. Heat a dry griddle or heavy skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Cook the tortillas 30 seconds on each side or until the dough looks dry & slightly wrinkled & a few brown spots form on both surfaces. Do not over cook or they will be hard. Butter and roll up and wrap in damp tea towel to keep warm as you cook the other tortillas.
