Easy Flour Tortillas Recipe !

lard

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

Olive oil is healthier due to its unsaturated fats, while vegetable shortening is often cheaper.

Measure 3 cups of all-purpose flour into a KitchenAid bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour and mix briefly.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour mixture.

Pour in 1 cup of warm water and 1/3 cup of vegetable oil.

Start the KitchenAid mixer to combine the ingredients until a dough starts to form.

Let the mixer run on low speed for about 3 minutes to knead the dough.

Remove the dough from the mixer, it will be slightly sticky.

Place the dough onto a floured work surface and divide it into 16 equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a small ball, pressing them into a circle shape for easier rolling.

Cover the dough balls with a tea towel and let them rest for about 15 minutes.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat.

Take one dough ball, dust it with flour, and roll it out with a rolling pin until thin.

Place the rolled tortilla onto the hot frying pan for about 1 minute until it starts to puff and get brown spots.

Flip the tortilla and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Remove the cooked tortilla from the pan and place it aside.

Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls.

Store the cooked tortillas in an airtight container or Ziploc bag to prevent them from drying out.
