Flour Tortillas 2 Cups all-purpose flour ½ Teaspoon salt ¼ Cup vegetable shortening ½ Cup warm water

Combine flour and salt in medium bowl. Rub shortening into flour with fingertips until mixture has fine, even texture. Stir in water until forms.

Knead dough on floured surface 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.

Knead dough a few times. Divide evenly into 8 pieces for 10” tortillas or 12 pieces for 8” tortillas. Shape pieces into balls; cover with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.

Using rolling pin, roll out each dough ball on floured surface, turning over frequently, into 8 or 10 inch circle. Stack each tortilla between sheets of waxed paper.

Heat ungreased heavy griddle or skillet over medium-high heat until a little water sprinkled on surface dances. Carefully lay 1 tortilla on griddle; cook 20 to 30 seconds until top is bubbly and bottom is flecked with brown spots. Turn tortilla over; cook 15 to 20 seconds until flecked with brown spots. If tortilla puffs up while second side is cooking, press it down gently with spatula. Remove tortilla to foil.

Cook remaining tortillas as directed above. If griddle becomes too hot, reduce heat to prevent burning. Stack cooked tortillas and cover with foil until all are cooked. Use immediately or wrap in foil and keep warm in 250F oven up to 30 minutes. Tortillas are best when fresh, but can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 2 weeks. Reheat in 350F oven for 10 minutes before using.

CORN TORTILLAS

2 Cups corn flour (masa harina) 1 to 1 1/3 Cups warm water 1 Teaspoon salt

Dough should be moist but stiff enough to hold its shape. Divide into 12 balls and press each between two pieces of waxed paper on a tortilla press, until a thin round cake is formed. Peel waxed paper from one side of the tortilla and place dough on a hot ungreased griddle. Remove other piece of waxed paper. Cook one at a time until edges begin to curl and they are very slightly browned. Turn and cook till puffs appear. Wrap in a dampened cloth and foil and keep warm in oven.

2 Cups masa harina 1 to 1 ¼ Cups warm water

Cut 2 (7-inch) squares from heavy-duty plastic bag. Combine masa harina and 1 cup water in medium bowl. Add remaining water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a smooth stiff dough is formed.

Test consistency of dough by rolling 1 piece of dough into 1 3/4 –inch ball; flatten slightly. Place ball on piece of plastic on lower plate of tortilla press, slightly off- center away from handle. Cover with second piece of plastic; press down firmly with top of press to make 6-inch tortilla. Peel off top piece of plastic; invert tortilla onto hand and peel off second piece of plastic. If edges are cracked or ragged, dough is too dry; mix in water, 1 to 2 teaspoons at a time, until dough presses out with smooth edges. If tortilla sticks to plastic, dough is too wet; mix in masa harnia, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough no longer sticks when pressed.

When dough has correct consistency, divide evenly into 12 pieces for 6-inch tortillas or 24 pieces for 4-inch tortillas. Shape pieces into balls; cover with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.

Press out tortillas as directed, stacking between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper.
