Equipment

  • Tortilla press or rolling pin
  • Frying pan

Ingredients

  • 250 grams plain flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 150 ml water warm

Instructions

  • 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.
