HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE FLOUR TORTILLAS!

lard

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

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

Add 500 grams of plain flour and 7 grams of salt to a bowl.

Mix the flour and salt together.

Add 6 tablespoons of flavorless oil to the bowl.

If using a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and mix; if not, use your hands to mix.

Gradually add 300 mils of warm to hot water in batches of 3 tablespoons, mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead until smooth.

Weigh the dough and divide it into 10 equal pieces, rolling them into balls and flattening them slightly.

Cover the dough balls with a damp tea towel and let them rest for about 1 hour.

Lightly flour the work surface and roll out each dough ball into a flat wrap, turning it upside down to prevent sticking.

Heat a pan to medium-high heat.

Cook each wrap for 30 to 40 seconds, flipping after 20 seconds when air bubbles form.

If the wrap hardens, it was cooked too long; if it blackens, reduce the pan temperature.
