all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds a unique flavor.

Assemble all the ingredients: flour, shortening, baking powder, and salt.

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add water.

Use a spoon to mix the water into the flour at first to avoid sticky hands.

Once the flour comes together with the water, start kneading with your hands.

Add flour as needed to achieve a soft consistency for the dough, using more water to keep it wet.

Let the dough rest for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Divide the dough into small balls, kneading each ball to create a soft, smooth surface.

Allow the balls to rest for another 15 to 20 minutes for easier flattening.

Use cooking oil to help stretch each dough ball more easily.

Flatten each dough ball into a thin tortilla using your hands or a rolling method.

Cook the flattened tortilla in a frying pan until light and soft.
