90 seconds or until well mixed. Scrape the dough out of the bowl and onto a
floured surface. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Cover with plastic
wrap, set aside at room temperature for 20 minutes. Divide each half into 8
equal portions. Lightly flour a work surface and rolling pin. Roll each
ball into an 8-inch round. Stack rounds on baking sheet with plastic wrap
between each tortilla. Let set for 10 minutes. Heat a griddle or large
cast-iron skillet over medium heat, lightly coating the surface with
vegetable oil cooking spray. Cook the tortillas for 1 minute on each side or
until light brown spots form on the surface.
