Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Wooden Spoon
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 10-Inch Cast Iron Skillet
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt half this amount if using table salt
  • ¼ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Cup Warm Water

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine. Add the olive oil and stir to distribute. Then, add the water and stir to form a shaggy dough.
    2 ¾ Cups All-Purpose Flour, 1 ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder, 1 ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ¼ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 Cup Warm Water
  • Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface and knead for 2-3 minutes, adding flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking.
  • Cut the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, and place each dough ball onto a floured surface. Cover the dough balls with a towel and allow them to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Flour a work surface and take one dough ball and press it into a disc with your hand. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into an approximately 7-inch circle.
  • Place the tortilla on the preheated skillet and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, until you see small light brown spots on each side. Transfer the tortilla to a plate and cover with a towel.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Notes

If you don't want to use olive oil, you can use vegetable, canola or avocado oil!
Make sure your cast iron skillet is hot! Allow it to heat over medium-high heat for at least 4 minutes before cooking your first vegan tortilla.
And be sure to cover the finished tortillas with a towel to keep them warm and pliable while the remaining tortillas cook.
