These soft, pliable homemade tortillas are simple to make and far better than store-bought. With just a few pantry ingredients, they cook up tender with light golden spots—perfect for wraps, tacos, or serving warm alongside your favorite meals.

Ingredients

• 1 c hot water
• 1/3 c olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 c all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until incorporated. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
2. Divide the dough into 12 equal balls. Place them on a lightly floured counter and let rest for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, preheat a griddle or two large pans over medium-low heat.
4. On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into an 8–10 inch circle. They do not need to be perfectly round.
5. Cook each tortilla on the hot griddle for 1–2 minutes per side, until cooked through with light golden spots. Do not overcook.
6. Remove from heat and enjoy.

Notes

• If the dough is too sticky, add up to 1/4 c additional flour, 1 tbsp at a time, until workable.
• If using Einkorn flour, use 3 c flour total instead of 2 1/2 cups.
