Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup oil (neutral flavor like avocado, canola, sunflower)
  • ¾ cup water , at room temperature

Instructions

Prepare Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Switch to using a spoon and stir in oil until a crumbly mixture forms.
    ¼ cup oil
  • Next, slowly stir in water until a ball of dough forms.
    ¾ cup water
  • Turn the dough out onto the countertop and knead until the dough feels smooth. It should be slightly tacky feeling but not sticky. If it feels sticky or is sticking to your hands/ counter, knead in extra flour, about ½ tablespoon at a time.
  • Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball then return the dough disks to the mixing bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel or kitchen towel and let rest for 20 minutes.

Roll and Cook Dough

  • After the dough has rested, roll each piece using a light dusting of flour to prevent sticking to the counter or rolling pin.
  • Roll as thin as possible; use firm pressure since the dough is very springy and will shrink while rolling. The dough should be almost see-though when thin enough
  • Once all tortillas are rolled, warm a dry non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When the pan is hot, place the first tortilla in and cook for about 30 seconds on each side. The tortilla will bubble as it cooks and golden-brown spots will form.
  • If the tortilla becomes dark brown before 30 seconds is up, turn the heat down before moving on.
  • When both sides are cooked, with golden brown sections throughout, remove and place into a kitchen towel or piece of tin foil to keep warm.
  • Cook the remaining tortillas in the same way, adding to the kitchen towel/ tin foil to keep soft and warm.

Serve

  • Serve your fresh flour tortillas with any/ all your favorite vegan tortilla, burrito or fajita fillings!
