Ingredients
Method
Make the dough
- Combine flour and salt.
- Slowly add olive oil. Mix with fork until evenly crumbly.
- Gradually add warm water a little at a time until mixture comes together and forms a dough, stirring continuously. You might have a little water left over.
- Divide dough into 12 pieces and form into balls.
- Place them on a floured surface and press down a little, forming them into disks.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
Cooking
- Heat a cast iron skilled to medium high heat and spray with a little oil.
- Thinly roll out a ball of dough on a floured surface until it is about 8 inches across.
- Make sure the pan is hot before you start. Carefully pick up the tortilla with your fingers and place it into the pan.
- Let it cook until bubbles start to appear on the top, about 30 seconds.
- Use tongs to flip the tortilla and cook it another 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Notes
I find it quicker to roll out the next ball of dough while a tortilla is cooking, creating sort of an assembly line process.
