GRANDMA SALAZAR'S TORTILLAS
This recipe for flour tortillas came to The Times in 2005 from Traci Des Jardins, a San Francisco chef whose heritage is Cajun on one side and Mexican on the other, via her maternal grandmother, Angela Salazar. You'll see "bacon drippings" in the ingredients. These make for really delicious tortillas.

Steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add bacon drippings and mix by hand or with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Slowly mix in 1 cup cold water. Add just enough additional water (about 1/3 cup) to make a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
- Divide dough into 12 balls of equal size. Place on a board or baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel; allow to rest for at least 20 minutes or up to an hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll tortillas into 8-inch rounds. Place between sheets of waxed paper. At this point dough may be covered and refrigerated until cooking time, or used immediately.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat. Remove tortillas from waxed paper and cook one at a time until puffy and slightly brown, about 30 seconds a side. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm until serving.

[email protected]These tortillas are a bit too thick for my taste, but they still taste good. I'll try rolling them out thinner next time.

[email protected]These tortillas are amazing! They're so soft and fluffy, and they have the perfect amount of chewiness. I've tried making tortillas from scratch before, but they always turned out too thick and dry. This recipe is a game-changer!
