Homemade Flour Tortilla Recipe

Today the hubby was jonesing for a quesadilla. We have been out of tortillas since Saturday and I wasn't eager to leave the house. Eric was all like, "babe, you could make them" and so my search began for a recipe. I ended up combining two recipes to create a small recipe for flour tortillas.

Delicious Flour Tortillas from Scratch

You'll need:

2 cups flour

1 Tbs shortening

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup hot water

Combine all ingredients but the water. Add in water and using the hook attachment on your mixer and allow to mix on medium speed for 3-5 minutes. Heat a dry cast iron skillet to med-high heat. Roll out 8 tortillas on a floured surface. Cook tortillas in dry pan for 20 seconds on each side. Place each completed tortilla between two damp towels. Lastly, try not to eat them all yourself.

Sorry about the messy photo, the hubby was chowing down before I got a good picture. Total cost for 8 tortillas: $0.14. Knowing that it's better than anything store bought, priceless. I love nap time!
