Homemade Tortillas



The hubby and I made homemade tortillas today for the first time and we had an absolute blast! So, I thought I would share some pics and the recipe here! We are having fiesta chicken tonight, so we'll be eating these with it. I think I am going to have to make another batch, because this first "trial" batch is almost gone already!
Homemade Tortillas:
2 c. flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 c. shortening or veg. oil
1/2 c. warm water
Put flour, salt & baking powder into a bowl. Mix the oil into flour mix until it forms little balls. Add water, a bit at a time, until dough is soft and pliable. Knead and form 8 - 10 balls. Roll out as thin as possible. Cook one at a time in a hot skillet, with melted butter. Flip when a bubble begins to form. Cook each side less than 1 minute!
These are delicious and so yummy! I think they are easily going to become a family favorite!
