Flour Tortillas | Tortillas de Harina

     Ever want a good tortilla with your Mexican meal? Or just for a small snack for your kids while dinner is ready? Well this recipe is just that. I love making these tortillas because it brings back so many childhood memories of looking up at my Grandma desiring for her to give me a fresh one with melted butter spread on it. The things you will need are...

• 3 cups of all purpose flout
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup lard or vegetable oil 
• 1 cup warm water
• Flat griddle

1. In a mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients. 

2. Mix all together thoroughly.

3. Add the melted lard or oil.

4. Add the warm cup of water.

5. Mix all together and knead on a flour flat service. 

6. When handling the dough, I rubbed lard on my hands for more easier handling.

7. Separate the dough into small palm size balls. 

8. With a rolling pin, roll out the dough. 

9. You can make it as thin or as thick as you would like.

10. Place tortilla on the hot flat griddle. 

11. Once the tortilla has a heat bubble you know that its time to flip over.

12. When both sides are golden, you may remove and serve.

ENJOY!
