Homemade Tortillas

I made homemade flour tortillas today for tonight's dinner. My husband hates it when I BUY tortillas, so I have stopped buying them.


Flour Tortillas

2 cups all purpose flour (can substitute 1 cup wheat if wanted)
1.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable or olive oil
3/4 cup warm milk

Mix dry ingredients, then slowly add the milk and oil while stirring. Knead on floured surface until dough becomes firm and soft. Let rest for 20 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 sections, roll into balls, and let rest another 20 minutes. The resting is so the dough can be rolled out nicely and isn't elastic-y.
Roll dough on floured surface into a circular shape about 8 inches in diameter. Follow the same procedure for rolling out a pie crust.
Cook the tortillas on a dry skillet over high heat, about 30 seconds or so on each side. They're done if you see very light browning on any bubbled areas. Flip and cook the other side.
Finished tortillas should still be soft and resemble the same texture as flour tortillas. They can be stored in the fridge in a plastic bag or foil until used. You can also freeze these in an airtight container or bag.
