Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk and olive oil. Stir the dry and wet ingredients together, pulling the dry into the wet to form a sticky but firm ball. If the dough is too dry add water a tablespoon at a time, if too wet add flour a tablespoon at a time.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes.
-
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest 30 minutes.
-
After 30 minutes, cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
-
Press the dough ball down into a thick, small circle before either rolling it out with a rolling pin or pressing it flat between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic storage bags with a tortilla press. If using a tortilla press, roll it out again after with a rolling pin for a thinner tortilla.
-
Heat a griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat. Lay the rolled out tortilla on the hot pan and allow it to cook about 1 minute on each side or until brown marks show and the tortilla has risen slightly or formed bubbles.
-
Transfer the cooked tortillas to a plate and cover with a slightly damp cloth to keep them soft and warm.
