Today I went to make tacos for lunch and all we had were the crunchy taco shells-no tortillas. I think I'm the only one here who likes the shells, so I pulled out this recipe for tortillas I've been meaning to make. They take a bit of work- it's really a chore to roll them out because they are so elastic and want to keep snapping back into a smaller ball but in the end it was really worth it. They are so much better than store bought tortillas. The Handsome Husband even said "Hey these look like real tortillas!"
Real Tortillas?
"Yeah like the ones at the store..."
Hmmm.
Flour Tortillas
1 tsp Salt
1 1/2 tea Baking powder
2 tsp Vegetable oil
3/4 cWarm milk
Mix dry and wet separately, then together. Mix together well, then knead about 2-3 minutes. Form dough into a ball, cover with a towel and let rest 20 minutes. Cut ball into 8 pieces (like a pizza) and roll each piece into a ball. Roll each ball out into a big circle. Spray a cast iron skillet with cooking spray and fry each tortilla about 45 seconds on each side or until dry and brown spots appear.
