Begin by stating the ingredients: 1 pound of flour, 1/2 cup of oil, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 cup of water.

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Add the oil to the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.

Gradually add 1 cup of water and knead the dough until it is smooth.

Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is soft and pliable.

Divide the dough into approximately 10 equal portions, rolling each portion into a ball.

Coat the balls lightly with oil to prevent sticking and cover them with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.

Let the dough balls rest for about 20 minutes to soften.

After resting, heat a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Take one dough ball and flatten it into a tortilla shape, using your hands or a rolling pin.

Cook each tortilla in the skillet for a short time until they puff up and are lightly browned on both sides.
