Steps:
- In a bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Stir in the vegetable oil, then slowly pour in the hot water, stirring gently. When the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times to smooth it out.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Pinch off a piece of dough slightly smaller than a Ping-Pong ball and roll it into a 5-inch circle. It should be extremely thin.
- Cook on the dry skillet for about 1 minute on the first side, until it starts to brown a little, then flip it and cook for about 30 seconds on the second side. Remove and stack onto a kitchen towel, then repeat with the rest. As you stack the tortillas, wrap them in the kitchen towel while you cook the next ones.

Steps:
- Base: Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the room temperature butter and mix together with forks or a pastry cutter until dough forms loose crumbs.
- Flavor: To make flavor add-ins, blend together water and your flavor addition of choice to form a smooth liquid. If the blended mix is below 1 cup, add warm water to reach 1 cup total.
- Combine: Stir flavored water into the dough until a loose ball is formed. Transfer to a floured surface and knead about 50 times until a smooth dough is formed, adding more flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Rest: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest 15 minutes.
- Roll: Cut ball into 16 pieces, then roll into balls. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for another 15 minutes.
- Cook: Heat a heavy-bottomed pan, like a cast iron skillet, over medium/high heat. Working in batches, roll a dough ball out 6 to 8 inches then transfer to the pan (leave remaining dough under plastic). Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles have formed on top and bottom has light tan spots. Flip and continue cooking another 1 minute. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning. Wrap cooked tortillas in a towel until you've finished cooking them all.

HOMEMADE FLAVORED TORTILLAS ( ROASTED RED PEPPER, SPINACH ETC)
I wanted to make those flavored (over-priced) tortillas that you buy in the store. I think that I have figured it out. The secret is to use a blender or food processer to blend the vegetable or herb in with the water, and use it for the liquid. Also, when rolling out the tortillas, it's very helpful to roll them out on a lightly floured wooden board... really helps acheive the thinness of a good tortilla. I've made these with roasted red pepper from a jar and frozen spinach. Other ideas would be jalepeno, sundried tomato, garlic herb, basil, or whatever you can dream up. I hope you like them.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add potatoes, bell pepper, and onion; season with salt and pepper (skillet will be very full). Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crisp-tender, 14 to 16 minutes. Uncover, and cook off excess liquid, 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, parsley, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in skillet, and stir to distribute evenly. With the back of a spatula, press down on vegetables so they lay flat and are submerged.
- Bake until tortilla is set, 12 to 16 minutes. To unmold, run a rubber spatula around edge of skillet to release tortilla; invert onto a serving plate. Drizzle tortilla with oil; garnish with parsley.
