In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Whisk the dry ingredients together.

Gradually add about 1 cup of water, mixing until a dough forms.

If the dough is too dry, add a little more water until it is slightly sticky.

Flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 3 to 4 minutes until smooth.

Shape the dough into a thick disc and let it rest for 30 minutes, covered with a clean towel.

After resting, divide the dough into thirds to make six pieces.

Roll each piece out to a thickness slightly thicker than a tortilla.

Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a pot to 350°F (176°C).

Fry each piece of dough in the hot oil for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown.
