The wheat tortilla is a versatile and simple preparation, originally from Mexico and very popular throughout Latin America and the world. This recipe lets you get soft and flexible tortillas in a few minutes, ideal for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or simply to accompany your favorite dishes. Their texture is perfect for filling with chicken, beef, vegetables, or cheese, and they are an excellent option for quick and family meals.
The key is using hot water, which helps the dough be more manageable and the tortillas turn out tender. The resting time allows the gluten to relax, making them easier to roll out. With only 4 ingredients and simple steps, you'll get 8 homemade tortillas, much tastier than commercial ones.

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until a homogeneous dough forms and that everything peels off the edges. Let it rest, covered with a cloth, for 25 minutes. Then divide into 8 equal parts.
Form 8 balls and cover with film. Rest for 10 more minutes. Then we crushed them with our hands a little and began to beat them until they stretched very thinly, as much as possible.
Heat a non-stick pan and cook the tortillas one by one. You will start to see some bubbles that emerge above, you wait a few seconds and turn it around. They are very quick to make. That way, you cook all of them. Every time you take one out, wet it with your hands, then you can mount the next one on top of it, which is also moistened, and you cover them with a damp cloth. This is so that they don't get crispy. And that's it, some nice, delicious and quick tortillas that you can make with whatever you want.
