Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Butter Flavored Crisco or non-flavored vegetable shortening
  • 3/4 Cups Warm Water (Approximately)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together to combine all ingredients.
  • Add shortening to the dry ingredients and mix well. The easiest way to do this is either with two knives or a pastry blender. You'll want your mixture to look like small beads once its all mixed.
  • Slowly add the water. Start with about 1/2 cup of water and continue to mix and add water until you have a nice tacky dough. You will probably need just under 3/4 cup of water. Roll dough into a ball.
  • Cover your dough ball and allow to rest for 30 - 45 minutes.
  • Cut the dough into 8 wedges. Roll each wedge into a small ball.
  • Lightly flour a surface and roll the small dough ball into a thin circular (or mostly circular) shape.
  • Place a skillet over a medium heat. Allow the skillet to heat up for about 5 minutes before using. Do not use any spray, grease or butter in your skillet - this is a "dry" cooking technique.
  • Place your rolled out dough in the hot skillet and cook for approximately 30 seconds on each side. Repeat with each of the other dough balls.
  • That's it! You now have several of the best homemade tortillas ready to eat. Enjoy!
