Mix Dough
- Mix flour, salt, and fat (oil or butter) together. Incorporate the fat until the mixture is crumbly.
- Add water to the crumbly flour mixture. Stir for 3 minutes with the wooden spoon until a loose ball of dough forms.
- Roll the loose dough out onto the clean surface and knead with your hands for 5 min, until smooth and no longer sticky.
Cut and Cook
- Cut the dough into 24 equal pieces for tortillas that will be rolled out to 20 cm (8 in) in diameter.
- Cover the dough pieces with a damp tea towel and leave them on the counter for 30 – 120 min. If resting the dough for longer, the dough can be stored in the fridge for up to 48 hours in an airtight container.
- Roll out the pieces in 20 cm rounds and stack with parchment or wax paper.

Serve
