Time 2h30m

Yield about 2 dozen 7-inch tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound flour, about 3 1/4 cups
1/2 cup solid white vegetable shortening or lard
Salt to taste, if desired
1 cup warm water (slightly hotter than lukewarm but not unpleasantly hot to the touch)

Steps:

  • Volume of flour varies so it is best to measure by weight. Put flour in mixing bowl. Cut shortening into bits and add it. Rub mixture between fingers to blend.
  • Dissolve salt in water and add to flour mixture, stirring. Knead dough well for about three minutes.
  • Shape dough into ball and put in small bowl. Cover and let stand for two hours at room temperature.
  • Knead dough once more for about two minutes. Pull off pieces of dough, one at a time, and shape into ball roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Press ball with palm of hand onto floured board or pastry cloth. Roll out into circle about 1/8-inch thick and about 7 inches in diameter. As each tortilla is made, put in hot skillet or griddle and cook for about 20 seconds on one side or until bubbles appear on surface and underside is lightly brown and speckled. Turn and cook quite briefly on other side. Continue until all flour mixture is used.

These tortillas were a bit too thick for my taste, but they were still good. I'll probably try rolling them out thinner next time.

I'm not a huge fan of flour tortillas, but these ones were actually really good. They were soft and flavorful, and they held up well in my tacos.

These tortillas are a great way to use up leftover masa harina. I always have a bag of it in my pantry, so I can make tortillas whenever I want.

These tortillas are great for tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. They're also delicious just by themselves with some butter and salt.

These tortillas were a little more work than I expected, but they were totally worth it. They're so much better than store-bought tortillas.
