Add the butter and water to a microwave-safe dish. Heat until the butter is completely melted and the water is hot.

Add the flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix briefly to combine.

With the mixer running on medium speed, slowly pour in the hot butter and water mixture.

Continue mixing for about 8 minutes, or until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

If the dough is extremely sticky, add additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time. The finished dough may still feel slightly sticky.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball. Keep the dough balls covered while you work.

Lightly flour your work surface and roll each dough ball into a large, thin circle.

Heat a large dry skillet or comal over medium heat.

Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute per side, or until bubbles form and golden-brown spots appear.

Transfer the cooked tortillas to a clean kitchen towel and keep them wrapped until ready to serve.

Serve warm and enjoy.
