Homemade tortillas

These were so easy to make and so tasty!

Tortillas
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup water

1. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the oil and water.

2. On a floured surface, knead the dough for 1 minute. Let the dough rest in a bowl covered with a dishtowel for 20 minutes. Knead again, and form 8 to 10 balls. Roll them out until they are as thin as possible.

3. Preheat an ungreased griddle. Cook the tortillas on each side on medium-high heat for less than a minute until lightly browned
