Ingredients

Prep time includes the rest time for the dough

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup shortening

1/2 cup warm water

Extra flour for rolling

Directions

Mix flour & salt together in a bowl

Rub shortening into flour with fingers until the mixture has a fine even texture

Stir in water to make a soft dough - add more water if needed

Knead on a lightly floured board until smooth - about 2 - 3 mins

Wrap in plastic & let rest for 20 - 30 mins

Divide dough into 8 equal pieces, keeping pieces covered so they don't dry out

Form a piece of dough into a ball & then on a lightly floured board, roll out thinly to an approx 10 inch round, turning over several times

Set aside & stack between wax paper

Repeat with rest of dough

Heat an ungreased, large heavy skillet to med/high heat

Place a tortilla in skillet & cook until the top is bubbly & the bottom is flecked with brown

Turn it over & cook the other side

If they puff up, flatten with spatula

This is such a cool recipe, Brianna! I cook a lot with tortillas, but never made one! Here's my recipe to do that! Great post, and definitely a 5!

Thanks Briana,
You should create a cookbook if you haven't already! I buy these and they never stay fresh long enough.
I will try these and see how it goes. The flavor of homemade ones are something else. There's a restaurant in Huntington Beach, CA here that serves fresh ones made by hand...really awesome flavor.
How would you recommend keeping them fresh, provided they last that long!

Hi Polly, When I made these I put them into a big zip-lock bag as soon as they were cool. I froze the ones I didn't use right away in that bag & they thawed out just as fresh.
