How to make Homemade Flour Tortillas in a Quickie

1) In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

2) Add the water and vegetable oil and by using your hands, mix together the dough until it is a cohesive ball and all of the liquid is too sticky, add more flour (1 tablespoon at a time as needed) Note: The dough should be soft, but not sticky.

3) Transfer the dough onto the counter surface and knead it about 10 times until it becomes smooth all over.

4) Divide the dough into 12 equal balls then flat each ball slightly. Make sure you put a dash of flour on each piece of dough on both sides and set them aside and cover them with a towel.

5) Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat.

6) Roll out one piece of dough into an 8-inch circle then transfer it to the hot pan. Cook the tortilla for about 1 minute then flip it once and continue cooking it for an additional 30  seconds or until golden brown spots appear on both sides.

7) Transfer the tortilla from the pan into a towel and cover it. Do the same with the other tortillas.

And that's it! Now you have a piping hot set of tortillas ready to be dished out! Enjoy your Homemade Flour Tortillas!
