You want to know a quick, easy, tasty treat you can throw together in minutes? Of course, you do! TORTILLAS!! I love making them and they are SO much better fresh than reheated from the grocery store. Here's how YOU, too, can enjoy the chewy goodness of a fresh tortilla...

1. Get a medium sized bowl, a fork, a large (clean) flat surface, a rolling pin, a griddle and a spatula. Gather together 3 cups flour, 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, a dash of salt (optional), 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup warm water.
2. Using the fork, mix the flour, baking powder and salt in the bowl.
3. Still using the fork, stir in the oil and then small amounts of water until the dough is mostly holding together. Using your hands, knead in any remaining bits of flour.
4. Knead gently until the dough is smooth and elastic-y.
5. Get your griddle started over med/high heat.
6. Quickly, divide the ball of dough into equal pieces (about 10 for large tortillas, about 16 for smaller ones). Place these pieces back in the bowl and keep covered.

That is the really easy part. This next part is also easy, but it requires you to move pretty quickly so don't attempt it if you are also feeding the dog, answering the phone and changing the baby! (EEWWW...don't do ANY cooking if you are changing the baby!!!)

7. Take each piece of dough out and, using the rolling pin, roll them out until very thin. Do this on your clean, flat surface. Dust the surface with flour between each tortilla to prevent sticking.
8. Toss the flattened tortilla on the grill and flatten the next one. Place tortilla #2 on the griddle and flip tortilla #1.
9. Roll the next one. Remove tortilla #1 and replace with tortilla #3. Flip tortilla #2. Continue in this fashion until all tortillas are cooked.
10. Enjoy! Eat them plain, with butter, stuffed with goodies, sprinkled with cinnamon/sugar or any other way you can think of.

They taste best, of course, if they are eaten immediately upon removal from griddle. If you prefer to eat sitting down, you can wrap them in a clean, dry cloth until done cooking. If there are leftovers, allow them to COMPLETELY cool (that is important - soggy tortillas are gross) and seal them in an airtight container. They keep for several days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or on the griddle.
