Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3/4 cup Shortening
  • 3/4 cup Water HOT

Instructions
 

  • Grab a large bowl and mix the Flour, Salt, and Baking Powder.
  • Take the shortening and crumble it into the flour mix until the flour mix becomes crumbly.
  • Add water and mix until the dough starts to take shape.
  • Throw some flour down on your counter and knead the dough until it is smooth and stretchy.
  • Put it in a bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let it sit for one hour.
  • Split the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll into a ball. If you want to make smaller taco tortillas, cut into 12 pieces.
  • Heat up your skillet to medium high heat.
  • Throw some flour on a rolling pin and roll each dough ball into a tortilla. If you want the tortillas to come out better, use a tortilla press or frying pans.
  • Throw the tortillas on a skillet and cook until lightly golden brown.
  • Pull off the tortillas and place under a towel.
  • Repeat!
