Add the flour, oil and salt to a mixing bowl.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture together into a ball with your hands.
On a clean work surface, knead for 5 minutes or until the dough ball until it is soft and smooth.
Leave for at least 15 minutes to rest.
Cut the dough into 8 pieces.
Either using a press or a rolling pin, roll each ball of dough as thinly as possible. If using a rolling pin make sure the surface and rolling pin are both floured to prevent the dough sticking,. If using a press place baking parchment or clingfilm between the dough and the press.
To cook, place a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas in the pan (no oil) for 1-2 mins on each side until they are golden brown.
Keep them warm in the oven, wrapped in tinfoil, while you cook the whole batch.
