Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

4 tablespoons shortening (not liquid oil)

1 cup warm water, or as needed

pound shredded Muenster cheese

Preparation

Combine dry ingredients. Cut shortening into dry ingredients with pastry blender; add warm water a few drops at a time and work dough with hands until manageable. Knead dough 15-20 times then allow to stand for 10 minutes.

Form dough into balls the size of an egg; roll out one at a time until they are 6 inches in diameter. Add some of the cheese on top then put another layer of the tortilla.

Place on a hot ungreased skillet (one at a time). Cook 2 minutes on each side until done. Serve with cabbage and shredded carrots on top.
