Tortillas

A very special friend of mine taught me how to make authentic mexican flour tortillas.  I hadn't made them for a really long time and decided this past week to make a batch for my dd's.  They were so delicious and just as I remembered them.  They used them to make breakfast burritos and I used them to dip in my soup!

So delicious!!!

Here is the recipe:  Tortillas De Harina (Flour tortillas)

6 Tbsp. Shortening
4 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup warm water or more as needed

Work shortening into flour, salt, and baking powder with fingers.
Work in the warm water and add more a spoonful at a time as needed until dough comes away from bowl.
Seperate the dough into balls.  Then roll out on floured surface with floured rolling pin.
Heat heavy iron skillet or griddle very hot.
Keep iron greased, cook on both sides.
Enjoy :)
