Fun Making Tortillas

A group of us started getting together each month and sharing recipes and cooking together. Today we cooked tortillas. ~Recipe Below~

Each of us took turns rolling out our tortillas. They are really good and when you make these you'll never want to buy them in the store.

Everybody enjoyed making and eating them. We had chicken and beef along with other toppings. Hope you enjoy making them!
Below is the recipe and finished taco. We also had a mexican cake ~ recipe coming soon~


Flour Tortillas

1 1/2 cups boiling water
4 cups all purpose flour
2 TSP salt
2/3 cup crisco
pre-heated skillet

Put flour, salt and crisco into large mixing bowl. Crumble with hands. Mix in boiling water a little at a time. Knead into soft dough. Pinch off dough into 24 golf ball size balls. Roll each ball into circles flipping and rotating after each roll. Cook tortillas on very hot non-sick or cast iron skillet. Flip tortilla when it begins to "bubble". Cook each one for approx 1 1/2 minutes. Put cooked tortillas into towel and cover while cooking other tortillas.

This is the finished taco made with flour tortilla.

We also had a mexican cake. ~recipe coming soon~
