MEXICAN WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR TORTILLAS
I learned this recipe from watching my mom in Mexico, however, nobody (not even my mom) knows how much of every ingredient you are supposed to use, so I experimented with different amounts of ingredients and came up with this one, which is pretty good and not so loaded with fat. This is great to do with kids on the weekend, and something you can enjoy anytime!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, and salt. Rub in the shortening by hand until the mixture is the texture of oatmeal. Make a well in the center, and pour in the boiling water. Mix with a fork until all of the water is evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with a bit of additional flour, and knead until the dough does not stick to your fingers. The dough should be smooth.
- Make balls the size of golf balls, about 2 ounces each. Place them on a tray, and cover with a cloth. Let stand for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
- Heat a griddle or large frying pan over high heat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a tortilla to your preferred thinness. Fry one at a time. Place on the griddle for 10 seconds, as soon as you see a bubble on the top, flip the tortilla over. Let it cook for about 30 seconds, then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Roll out the next tortilla while you wait for that one to cook. Repeat until all of the balls have been cooked. Tortillas can be refrigerated or frozen.

Steps:
- Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the shortening with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with saran wrap and rest dough for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into approximately 8 equally sized pieces for large tortillas, make each piece into a ball. Lightly flour your surface and rolling pin to roll each dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Roll out from the center of each dough ball, picking up and turning 90 degrees every time you roll to get a round tortilla. It will almost feel like you are rolling out pizza dough.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place tortilla in a dry, hot skillet (we like hot cast iron skillets) for 5 seconds on the first side and 5 seconds on the second size. The tortillas will become slightly bubbly and turn a slight golden/brown.
- Once cooked, stack and wrap tortillas in a damp towel or toweled tortilla warmer so they will not become crunchy while you finish cooking the remaining tortillas. The tortillas will come out soft and beautiful.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality whole wheat flour for the best results. Look for a flour that is freshly milled and has a high protein content.
- If you don't have a tortilla press, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the dough. Just be sure to roll it out evenly so that the tortillas are all the same thickness.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Cook the tortillas in a hot skillet over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Once the tortillas are cooked, wrap them in a damp towel to keep them warm and moist.
