Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup vegetable shortening
½ cup hot water
¼ cup all-purpose flour for dusting
Directions
Whisk 1 3/4 cups flour, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Cut in vegetable shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Form a well in the middle; mix in hot water, working flour mixture and water together with a fork; transfer to a cutting board.
Knead until a smooth, soft dough is formed, about 3 minutes. Add more flour if dough is too sticky.
Flour the cutting board, cover dough with bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes.
Cut dough into eight equal parts; cover until needed. Roll out dough balls by hand or with a tortilla press.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla in skillet; cook until begins to bubble, about 1 minute. Flip tortilla; cook 1 minute more. Flip again and cook 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
