Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.333 cup shortening (or lard)
• 1 cup warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

Add the shortening to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate the shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, stirring with a spoon until the dough starts to come together.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for about 15 minutes.

Step 6

With a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle, approximately 8 inches in diameter. Try to make the tortillas as thin as possible without tearing them.

Step 7

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place a rolled-out tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook for about 1 minute, or until you see bubbles start to form and the bottom is lightly browned.

Step 8

Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, until lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm and soft. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Serve the tortilla wraps warm with your choice of fillings such as grilled chicken, vegetables, salsa, or beans.
