Homemade Tortillas

These are worth the extra time it takes to make them!

3-4 cups flour
sea salt
1/3 cup oil
1 cup warm water

Mix 3 cups flour and salt well. Stir in the oil and water.
Turn onto floured surface and knead until smooth and silky, adding flour as necessary.

Separate dough into balls (about 20-30) and let rest under towel. Flatten into tortillas. If you are fortunate enough to have a tortilla maker, great! If you're like me, I just use a rolling pin. Use extra flour in between tortillas to prevent sticking!!

Place on hot, dry skillet for about 1 minute, flip, then another 30 seconds or so. Repeat 20-30 times. :) Done!
