Homemade Flour Tortillas | Mexican flatbread

lard

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

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

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, maize flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add oil and mix until crumbly.

Gradually add hot water, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into balls.

Roll each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin.

Cook each tortilla on a hot skillet for about 1 minute per side until lightly browned.

Keep cooked tortillas warm in a cloth until serving.
