Ingredients




4 cups flour (White, whole wheat or combination. Plus my kids add f
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup of water 
1/2 cup vegetable shortening

Preparation

1 Mix flour, salt, & baking powder in a large medium/large bowl. 2 Cut in shortening/lard until lumps are gone. 3 Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients. 4 Add water, about a half a cup at a time, and work mixture into a dough. Knead until smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky but not hard. You can add slightly more water or flour if needed. 5 Cover and set aside for 10 minutes. 6 Make the dough into balls about the size of eggs. 7 Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into about a 6 inch circle OR my kids like to squish them with my cast iron skillet. 8 Heat griddle or skillet on medium heat without grease. 9 Cook tortilla 1/2 to 1 minute (if it starts to bubble, that's long enough). 10 Flip tortilla to the other side and cook for a few seconds. 11 Continue until all your dough is cooked. 12 Let wraps cool. 13 Layer inbetween layers of parchment or wax paper and store in a large ziploc bag. 14 Store any used portions in fridge. 15 YUMMY
