Flour Tortillas


I have made these tortilla a few times and they are great! I like making them when I make enchiladas because I can role the dough out to be thinner than tortilla that you buy in the store which I think makes for better enchiladas. They are also super easy to make!

To make these flour tortilla you will need the following ingredients:
  • 4 cups FLOUR
  • pinch BAKING POWDER
  • 1/2 cup LARD or VEGETABLE SHORTENING
  • 2 tsp SALT
  • 1 cup WARM WATER

Start off by whisking together 4 cups of flour and a pinch of baking powder in a large bowl. Then add 1/2 cup of shortening and mix it into the flour mixture using your hand until a coarse meal forms.


Dissolve 2 teaspoons of salt in 1 cup of warm water and then add it into the flour mixture. Mix the salt water into the flour mixture with your hands until a ball forms.



Separate the ball of dough into 12 small balls that will then become 12 tortillas.



Roll each small ball out as thin as you can with a rolling pin.


Then throw it into a skillet that has been preheated over medium heat. Cook the tortilla on both sides until it starts to turn golden brown.


Then eat up!
