- 0.25 cup salted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup hot water

2. Add a cup and a half of flour to a bowl.
3. Add the softened butter to the flour.
4. Add a teaspoon of salt to the mixture.
5. Crumble everything together with your hands to make a sandy mixture.

7. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms.
8. Knead the dough on the counter until it's not sticking to your hands.
9. Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them.
10. Dip each dough ball in flour and roll them into thin tortillas using a rolling pin.
11. Cook the tortillas on a hot griddle for about 20-30 seconds per side.
