Homemade Tortillas
Ingredients
2-1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening
3/4-1 cup hot water
Directions
1. In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour and salt. Add the shortening and combine until crumbly.
2. With the mixer running, slowly add 3/4 cup of hot water. Mix until the dough starts to come together, adding more water if necessary; the dough should be about the consistency of Play-Doh.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. While the pan is heating, divide the dough evenly into 8-10 balls. Roll the balls as thinly as possible into circles.
4. Place a raw tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook until large bubbles appear and the tortilla looks slightly oily, about 1 minute. Flip and cook another 30 seconds to a minute or until the tortilla is cooked through but not brown or burned. Repeat with remaining tortillas, keeping the cooked tortillas under a clean kitchen towel. Serve immediately if possible.

Notes
This is easier than I ever thought it would be and so worth it.
