HOMEMADE FLOUR TORTILLA RECIPE FROM SCRATCH \\ with bonus recipe

lard

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

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

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Add avocado oil and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Transfer the mixture onto a cutting board and knead for 4 to 5 minutes.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Portion the dough into balls of approximately 30 grams each to make 16 tortillas.

Roll each ball into a circle by pushing from the center out and using a rolling pin to work the edges.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Cook each tortilla in the skillet, flipping when they start to bubble up, and cook for a few seconds on the other side.

Keep the cooked tortillas warm in a tortilla warmer.
