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.
