Homemade tortillas are so much better that if you do decide to give these a try, be warned that you'll have a very hard time ever going back to the packaged option again.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup vegetable shortening
½ cup hot water
¼ cup all-purpose flour for dusting

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Add vegetable shortening and work into flour mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Form a well in the middle of flour mixture and mix in hot water. Work flour and water mixture together with a fork and transfer to a cutting board.
  • Knead until a smooth, soft dough is formed, about 3 minutes. Add more flour if dough is too sticky.
  • Place more flour on cutting board, cover dough with bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Cut ball of dough into eight equal parts and cover until needed.
  • Roll out balls of dough either by hand or with a tortilla press.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place flattened tortilla in skillet and cook until it begins to bubble, about 1 minute. Flip tortilla over and cook for an additional minute. Flip again and cook for 1 more minute. Repeat with remaining dough.
