Homemade Mexican Tortillas

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the warm water and vegetable oil.

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin, round tortilla, about 6 inches in diameter.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas, one at a time, for 30-60 seconds per side, or until lightly puffed and golden brown in spots.

Transfer the cooked tortillas to a clean kitchen towel or plate to keep them warm and pliable until ready to serve.
