Instructions
Mix all the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachement
Mix the ingredients on medium speed for about 1 minute until everything is well incorporated
Remove the dough from the mixer and shape the dough into a ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes
Divide the dough into equal size pieces (10-12) and let it rest for another 10 mins.
Press each piece flat and use a rolling pin to stretch them to the desired thickness (I like mine super thin)
Heat up a skillet and place the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until bubbles start forming and tortillas get light blisters.
