Disney: Homemade Tortillas Recipe

Makes 12

Ingredients:
3-4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water

Procedure:
In a medium sized bowl, mix the flour and vegetable oil until it crumbles. Dissolve the salt and in the warm water and pour it over the flour mixture, then use your fingers to combine the dough (if your dough is soft, add more flour). Knead the dough on an unfloured surface until elastic, about 4 minutes. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for at least an hour. Divide it into 12 balls and roll each one into a thin, 8" round (make sure the edges are as thin as the middle). Place one tortilla at a time onto an ungreased skillet over the medium heat and cook on each side for 1-3 minutes.
