How to make flour tortillas WITHOUT any experience

lard

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

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

Preheat a thick comal or griddle on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.

Heat 3/4 cup of water in the microwave for 3 minutes, then set aside half a cup for mixing.

In a bowl, pour the half cup of hot water in the center.

Using hands, mix the water into the tortilla mix until a dough forms, adjusting with additional water or flour as needed.

Once the dough is formed, divide it into 2-ounce portions, rolling each into a ball.

Roll each ball into a log shape, then weigh to ensure it's about 2 ounces.

Roll out each tortilla using a rolling pin, applying flour to prevent sticking.

Cook each tortilla on the preheated comal, flipping when the next tortilla is rolled out, until lightly browned.

Place cooked tortillas on a sheet of foil lined with a paper towel to absorb moisture and keep warm.
