4. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
6. Divide the dough into 16 even pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

8. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out each ball into a disk shape until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
9. Carefully transfer the tortilla to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds per side until it's charred and cooked through.
