Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the vegetable shortening to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add in the warm water, mixing until the dough comes together. You may need to adjust the amount of water slightly, depending on the humidity in your kitchen.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 1-2 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover with the cloth again.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of dough into a thin circle, about 8-10 inches in diameter.
- Carefully place the rolled dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 30-45 seconds or until you see bubbles forming, then flip to cook the other side for another 30 seconds.
- Remove the tortilla and place it on a plate. Cover with a clean towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
Enjoy your homemade tortillas warm! They are perfect for wrapping around your favorite fillings or simply enjoyed with butter. Experiment with different toppings and fillings to find your perfect combination!
