  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 tortillas

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3/4 cup warm water

Instructions

  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour and salt.

  • Cut in the Butter: Add the unsalted butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  • Add Water: Gradually pour in the warm water, stirring to combine. Knead the dough until smooth and soft.

  • Divide the Dough: Divide the dough into 8 small balls.

  • Roll Out the Tortillas: On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle about 6-8 inches in diameter.

  • Cook the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly puffed.

  • Serve: Serve warm with your favorite fillings or use them as wraps for sandwiches.

Notes

  • Flavored Tortillas: Add garlic powder, chili powder, or herbs like oregano to the dough for extra flavor.

  • Whole Wheat Tortillas: Swap out the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

  • Vegan Tortillas: Substitute the butter with olive oil or coconut oil to make them vegan-friendly.
