Let’s dive into the process of creating these delightful tortillas:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mix well.
2. Add the warm water and vegetable oil (or melted butter) to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture comes together into a dough.
3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. My grandma always said the key to great dough is in the kneading—don’t rush it!
4. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle, approximately 8 inches in diameter.
6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla at a time onto the skillet.
7. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until you see brown spots and the tortilla puffs up slightly. Flip carefully using tongs.
8. Once cooked, transfer the tortillas to a plate lined with a clean towel. Cover to keep warm as you cook the remaining tortillas.

And there you have it—a stack of fresh, warm, grilled flour tortillas ready to be enjoyed!
