Ingredients:

4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 1/4 cups of warm water

1. Mix all ingredients in stand mixer for 5 minutes using dough hook (on medium speed) until you get a smooth, shiny dough. You can also mix by hand.
2. Cover with plastic wrap and place aside for 20 minutes.
3. Roll dough into small balls and place on lightly floured surface.
4. Cover with a damp towel and let sit for 10 minutes.
5. Flatten with rolling pin until very thin.
6. Heat a nonstick frying pan (without oil) on high heat until it is extremely hot.
7. Place tortilla on pan and cook for about 1 minute until you see little holes or blisters.
6. Flip to other side and do the same.
8. Continue cooking the rest of them.
9. Wrap tortillas in dish towel to keep warm.

Use an old frying pan because the tortillas leave hard to remove stains on pan.
It is hard to make circular tortillas. You can use a knife to trim them into a circle.
Tortillas can be frozen in plastic wrap and briefly heated in microwave.
