the mixture thoroughly to form a soft and pliable dough. Once , cover the dough and for at least one hour at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
Divide the rested dough into 20 equal small portions. Roll each portion into a smooth, round ball.
Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a thin, circular tortilla.
Heat a non-stick pan (tava) over medium flame. Place a rolled tortilla on the hot pan. Cook until you see small bubbles forming on the surface, then flip it to the other side. Continue cooking on medium flame until both sides are lightly cooked and have some brown spots, but do not expect it to puff up completely at this stage.
Transfer the partially cooked tortilla directly onto a high flame (or a wire rack over a gas burner). Cook for a few seconds on each side, flipping as needed, until the tortilla puffs up completely and develops more brown spots.
Once cooked, remove the tortilla from the flame and place it on a cooling rack. Allow the tortillas to cool completely for at least before storing them in an airtight container. This prevents them from becoming soggy.
