Coconut oil is a dairy-free alternative.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour and 1/3 cup of water.

Mix until it comes together into a dough ball.

If the dough is dry, add more water; if it's too wet, add more flour.

Divide the dough into about six equal portions.

Roll each portion into thin circles using a rolling pin.

Preheat a frying pan until hot, without adding oil (optional).

Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they start to bubble and the edges lift up.
