In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a flat circle.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot.

Fry each dough circle until puffed and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with optional toppings like cheese, beans, salsa, jalapeños, or avocado.
