In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the melted butter and hot water into the dry ingredients mixture and mix with your hands.
If the mixture is too dry, add more hot water.
Continue to mix and knead with your hands until the dough comes together and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.
Separate dough into 2 oz pieces.
Form dough into balls, then flatten into discs.
Add about a tablespoon of shredded cheese onto the disc of tortilla dough then form the disc into a ball again wrapping the dough around the cheese and sealing it together at the top.
Flatten the dough ball back into a disc shape, then roll out the tortilla dough on your floured surface with your rolling pin until your tortilla is about 8 inches across.
Roll the dough out into a circle by picking up and flipping the dough and turning 1/4 of the way each time. This will help give you a uniform shape, but practice is what helps your tortilla shape the most.
Heat your skillet on low to medium heat. You want your skillet hot, but not smoking hot.
Once your tortilla is rolled out, you will want to place it on your hot skillet and cook until the tortilla begins to puff up. Flip the tortilla over and cook until it puffs up again.
Remove from the skillet and place on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel until all of your tortillas are done.
Serve and enjoy!
