Homemade Mexican Soft Taco Shells From Scratch

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Add the water and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together.

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes until it becomes smooth and slightly elastic.

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.

Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a thin circle approximately 6 inches in diameter.

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium high heat.

Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side or until it begins to puff and you see golden brown spots on the underside.

Keep the cooked tortillas warm by covering with a clean kitchen cloth until ready to use.

Fill your soft shell tacos with your preferred fillings and enjoy!
