Mix the dry ingredients, then add the wet ones. Knead for a few minutes, then set aside in a dish cloth to let it rest if you want. Divide the dough into 5 or 6 pieces and roll each piece out as thin as you can. Cook in an *ungreased* pan over medium-high heat, flipping when light brown spots appear. Be careful --
your pan will probably get hotter as you go and cook faster. If your tortillas get black spots, don't worry --
they'll still taste fine. However, you'll probably have a little bit of char in your pan that you'll have to scrub off.
