In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt.
Use a fork to combine the pea-sized cubes of butter into flour mixture, creating a coarse meal mixture. Add water a little at a time; knead dough slowly against sides of the bowl a few times until it forms a smooth ball and all pf the flour is incorporated.
Divide dough into 20 equal pieces; roll each into a ball, making balls equal in size. Cover dough balls with a damp towel for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
On the stovetop, preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat while rolling out the balls of dough.
To roll out balls of dough, add flour to the work surface; use hands to flatten the balls into round discs that are about 6 inches, depending on the thickness of each tortilla, keeping them on the thinner side.
When skillet is hot, place a tortilla on it; cook for 30 seconds per side. Don't be surprised when it bubbles up. Repeat.
Stack each finished tortilla on a plate; cover with a clean towel. Serve warm.
Makes 20 tortillas.
