Instructions: 1. Mix all dry ingredients. Cut shortening into dry ingredients.

2. Add water, as little at a time, to make a medium dough (soft but not sticky) Knead until smooth.

3. Let dough rest. (about 10 minutes)

4. Shape into flattened balls and let rest again for about 10 minutes.

5. Roll out lightly onto a floured surface, turning a 1/4 turn between each rolling, so that they end up round -ish :-)

6. Warm on hot, ungreased griddle, until golden with little brown spots.

Keep them in a towel while cooking the rest and they will steam further and stay warm.

Yields about 12 tortillas, and can be doubles, triples, etc...as needed Play with the water to get just the right consistency. NO matter what you do, they are good, but once you perfect the dough, theyre out of this world
