3. Add warm water.
Start with 110 ml, mixing with a spoon or your hand.

If it feels dry → add water 1 tsp at a time.

4. Knead — but DON'T GO CRAZY 😂
Just about 2–3 minutes until smooth.
That's IT.

5. REST IT.
Cover and leave it for 20–30 minutes.
This is actually important because the gluten needs to relax so the tortillas don't fight you when you roll them.

7. Roll!
Lightly flour your counter and roll each one VERY thin.
For these tacos, aim for about 15–16 cm diameter.
Don't worry if they're not perfectly circular. Rustic tortilla = ✨character✨.

8. HOT PAN 🔥
Dry frying pan, medium-high heat.
Put one tortilla in.
You'll see little bubbles forming after ~30–45 seconds.
Flip.
Another ~20–30 seconds.
Flip once more if needed.
You want little brown spots, but don't cook them until they're crispy!

9. KEEP THEM SOFT.
As each tortilla comes off the pan, stack them under a clean kitchen towel.
The trapped steam keeps them wonderfully soft.
