In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Add the softened butter and hot water, mix until a shaggy dough.
Turn out the dough on a clean surface to knead 1-2 minutes, until a smooth ball. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Cute the dough into 8 equal-sized pieces, then roll into smooth balls.
On a very floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a thin, round tortilla that is close to 1/8" inch thick.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil to cook each tortilla for 30-45 seconds on each side, until little bubbles begin to form.
