Flour Tortillas

Here is a recipe for flour tortillas I got from allrecipes.com:

-  1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

-  1/4 teaspoon salt

-  1/2 teaspoon baking powder

-  1/4 cup vegetable shortening 

-  1/2 cup hot water

Mix all dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder) in a medium size bowl.  Cut in shortening (I used a large fork because I font have a pastry cutter).  Once shortening is cut into flour mixture and resembles small crumbs, make a well and pour in hot water.  Mix well, you will probably need to use your hands.  Set aside and cover for approximately 15 minutes.  Divide dough into 8 to 10 equal parts (depending on the size you want your tortillas).  Roll out eat one on a lightly floured surface.  Make into circles ( or close to) when rolling.  One at a time, brown each tortilla in a frying pan (turning once to brown each side).  Sore in the fridge or serve warm.  Enjoy!

Very good, easy to make, and very affordable!  Makes great tacos and/or burritos.
