Divide dough into 8 equal parts and then roll into something resembling a circle.
Spray skillet or griddle with non-stick spray or this better alternative and cook tortilla for about 1 minute on each side until brown.
Notes
While the dough is resting is a good time to prep the rest of dinner. Hang soft tortillas over the grate on the oven and cook at 375°F for 7-10 minutes to create hard taco shells.
