Instructions:

1. Mix dry ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder (if using).

   
   
    

2. Add fat and water:
   Put in the ghee (or melted butter) and mix until the flour looks crumbly. Slowly add the warm water, mixing with dough hook or a spoon or your hands until a dough forms. 

   
   
    

3. Knead the dough:
   Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 min with dough or 5 minutes with hands until smooth and elastic.

   
   
    

4. Rest the dough:
   Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15–30 minutes. This helps make the tortillas easier to roll out.

5. Divide and roll out:

   • Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.

   • On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a thin circle (about 6–8 inches in diameter).

     
     
      

6. Cook the tortillas:

   • Heat a dry skillet or griddle over low heat.

   • Place one tortilla on the pan and cook for about 30–60 seconds, until bubbles form.

   • Flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds.

     
     
      

7. Keep warm and serve:
   Stack the cooked tortillas and cover them with a clean towel to keep them warm. Serve fresh with tacos, burritos, or wraps!
