  1. 1Simply put any flour, bit of salt, bit of oil into a bowl, then we're going to add in some boiling water.
  2. 2Mix this together into a dough.
  3. 3Knead this for a couple of minutes until it's smooth.
  4. 4Then give the dough a rest while you have a little piano break.
  5. 5Divide up the dough, roll into balls, then roll out nice and thin.
  6. 6Get your largest pan hot enough so that water sizzles off the surface.
  7. 7Cook the tortilla, takes about 45 seconds on one side.
  8. 8You know it's time to flip when you can see loads of bubbles forming.
  9. 9You should cook it for 30 seconds on the other side.

Tips

  • Rest the dough properly for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, to make them easier to roll out.
  • Do not over flour your work surface; sprinkle only a little when rolling the dough.
  • Roll the tortillas thin and cook them on a hot pan.
