In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Add the hot water and vegetable oil. Mix with your hands until a soft dough forms and all liquid is absorbed.

If the dough feels sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time until soft but not sticky.

Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead about 10 times until smooth.

Divide dough into 12 equal balls and flatten each slightly into a puck shape.

Lightly flour both sides of each piece, cover with a towel, and set aside.

Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

Roll one dough piece into an 8-inch circle and place it in the hot pan.

Cook for about 1 minute, flip, and cook another 30 seconds until golden spots appear.

Transfer to a towel and keep covered while cooking remaining tortillas.
