1.

Place flour and salt in a large bowl, and stir to combine. Add water and olive oil to the bowl and stir to combine, creating a ‘shaggy’ dough.

2.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 – 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth.

3.

Portion the dough into eight even pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough into thin flat circles.

4.

Place a lightly greased piece of parchment on top of the tortilla, and repeat for the remaining dough, creating a little secure, non-stick stack.

5.

Over medium-high heat, heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot, carefully add a tortilla and fry for about 1 minute per side.
