 Homemade Tortillas- They are to die for!

Ingredients:
3 Cups All purpose Flour
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Baking powder
1/3 C Veggie Oil
1 Cup of boiling water (Very HOT)

Instructions:
Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder with a whisk. Add the canola oil and mix with your fingers until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add 1 cup of hot water and mix until a ball is formed. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for about 5 minutes. (I have also refrigerated it overnight).

Divide the dough into 12 balls and roll out one at a time with a rolling pin until very, very thin on a floured surface. Brush off excess flour. Cook on a hot, ungreased griddle over medium-high heat. Turn the tortilla when brown blisters form on the first side. Let cook 10-15 seconds on other side. Stack the totillas and serve warm.

Autumn’s Tips: Make sure your Tortillas are very thin!!!  Preheat pan until very hot while you Roll tortillas out. The cooking process will go very fast, do not multi task during the cooking. They burn very easy. Did I mention to make sure they are thin???

To make flatbread for a quick pizza or sandwhich make them a little thicker and cook in the same manner.

Tortillas make great wraps and are awesome for fajitas!!!! See my Fajita Recipe and Taco Sauce Recipe!!!


P.S. Do not attempt to make tortilla chips with this recipe. To make tortilla chips you have to use corn flour. These are not good for chips! (I made this mistake).
