How To Make Tortillas De Harina (Flour Tortillas)

 a simple recipe to make tortillas for a small batch:

3 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking POWDER
1 tablespoon of Crisco shortening


then add enough WARM water to get a good mix.
DON'T USE HOT WATER! Using hot water makes the mix too sticky,
so only use warm water.
You will knead it for a while before you separate it into little balls.

•Cook your tortillas on a “comal”, flat griddle or skillet at medium heat (mine was on 6 on an electric stove).
You don’t need to oil the skillet (there’s enough oil in there).
•Just like with pancakes, the 1st one is never good, but the rest are delicious.
process is usually: flatten, place in comal, flatten another one, turn the one in the comal,
flatten another one, remove the one from the comal and repeat!

•It takes about 1 minute to cook on the 1st side (you will see some bubbles appear on the surface, this is normal),
then you turn and press with it down with a flat turner to make a bubble again it takes about 30 seconds on the second side.
Do not overcook or they will turn hard like cookies. delicious cookies, but not good for burritos.
