THE ONLY FLOUR TORTILLA RECIPE YOU WILL EVER NEED!!! | Tortillas de Harina

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, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add shortening and crumble it with the flour until it feels like sand.

Gradually add 2 cups of hot water while mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Knead the dough on a clean countertop for 5 minutes until soft.

Pat extra oil on the dough, return it to the bowl, and cover it to rest for 20 minutes.

After resting, form small balls of dough based on desired tortilla size.

Dust the working area and rolling pin with flour.

Roll out each ball until thin enough to see through.

Heat a comal on medium heat and place the rolled tortilla on it.

Cook until it blisters, then flip and cook for another 10 seconds until done.

Remove from the comal, cover with a kitchen towel, and repeat until all dough is used.
