Add a little flour if the dough is too wet or sticky.

Let rest for 5 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface.

Shape into a log.

Divide into 14 equal pieces.

Using your hands, roll each piece into a ball.

Sprinkle the dough balls well with flour.

Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball until approx. 2 cm thick.

Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Heat each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Flip the tortilla over once bubbles start to form and the edges begin to curl up.

Transfer the cooked tortilla onto a plate.

Cover with a tea towel and set aside.

The towel will hold in the steam from the cooked tortillas as they cool down, keeping them soft and flexible.
