STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

2. Then add the vegetable oil and warm water to the dry ingredients.

3. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.

9. Place one rolled-out tortilla onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom has light brown spots.

10. Flip your tortilla and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes.

11. Then remove your tortilla from the skillet, place it on a plate, and cover it with a clean towel to keep it warm and soft.
