Directions

  1. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

  2. Combine water and canola oil in a separate bowl. Mix into the flour mixture with a fork until dough forms a ball, adding 1/4 cup water if dough is too dry.

  3. Knead dough until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide into 14 egg-size balls. Cover bowl with a cotton towel. Let dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Roll 1 ball dough into an 8-inch tortilla on a floured work surface. Repeat with remaining dough.

  5. Preheat an ungreased cast iron griddle on medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla on the hot griddle, cook until browned spots form, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate, cover with a cotton towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas, stacking them under the towel.

Recipe Yield

14 8-inch tortillas

Recipe Note

Most flour tortillas use lard or vegetable shortening as one of the ingredients. This recipe uses canola oil with the same great tortilla taste. A great alternative for those of you who are allergic to soy products. Add a bowl of green chili and then get ready to sop it up with a tasty tortilla. Store tortillas in the refrigerator in a gallon-size plastic bag or place in the freezer.
