lard

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

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

Put 6 cups of flour on the countertop.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour.

Mix the dry ingredients together.

Warm some water separately.

Make a well in the flour mixture and gradually add the warm water while mixing.

Knead the dough on the countertop for about 5 minutes until soft.

Pinch off pieces of dough to form small balls.

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

Roll each ball into a thin circle on the countertop.

Cook each tortilla on a hot skillet, flipping twice until lightly browned.
