Homemade Tortillas

Homemade Tortillas
These are easy to make and most people already have the ingredients on hand! These are also great for an emergency. They can be cooked on a grill, griddle, campfire, wood stove top, etc.

Ingredients: flour (I used white but a combo white/whole wheat also works very well), salt, baking powder, oil and water (not pictured.)
Add your favorite fillings to make quesadillas or enchiladas or tacos, etc....

3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup hot water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in water and oil. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and has no lumps. Cover dough with a towel and let it rest for 15 minutes. Divide dough into 10 pieces. (You can do 12 if you really want to. I like my tortillas thicker.) Roll into balls. Roll each tortilla into a circle about 8 inches round. You are allowed to roll these babies as thick/thin as you like. I like them thick. Place on hot griddle. Turn over when these brown spots begin to appear.
