How To Make homemade flour tortillas

• 
  Step 1
  Gather your ingredients.
• 
  Step 2
  Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of a mixer, fitted with a dough hook, and thoroughly combine.
• 
  Step 3
  Chef’s Note: You do not have to use a mixer… you can mix the ingredients by hand, just as Ms. Perez did.
• 
  Step 4
  Add the oil and the water, and turn the mixer on medium low.
• 
  Step 5
  Allow it mix for 2 or 3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth, and the dough begins to climb up the hook.
• 
  Step 6
  Chef’s Note: You might want to stop now and then and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• 
  Step 7
  Place the dough on a floured work surface.
• 
  Step 8
  Divide the dough into about 16 pieces.
• 
  Step 9
  Chef's Tip: Allow the dough pieces to rest for about 20 minutes.
• 
  Step 10
  Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat.
• 
  Step 11
  Roll out one of the dough balls, to about 7 inches.
• 
  Step 12
  Carefully pick it up.
• 
  Step 13
  Place in the hot pan.
• 
  Step 14
  Cook on one side until you see bubbles beginning to form, about 1 minute.
• 
  Step 15
  Flip and cook on the other side, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• 
  Step 16
  Chef's Note: Place on a plate, and cover, and then repeat for the other tortillas.
• 
  Step 17
  These tortillas will keep in the refrigerator for a week or more. In addition, you can freeze them, and they will keep for several months. Enjoy.
•

  Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
