Homemade Tortilla's


3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup oil (my choice oils are shortening or grapeseed)
1 cup hot water

Mix ingredients in a bowl (preferably stainless steal allowing the dough to stay warm). I keep the bowl covered with a plate. It's much easier to roll the dough out if it stays warm. On a floured surface roll a small ball of dough in a paper thin circle. Have a pan preheated in the stove and ever so lightly flour the pan just before you place the tortilla in it. Cook on both sides about a minute. Stack the tortilla's but then let them cool completely before placing them in a zip lock in the frig or the condensation with cause them to stick together and become soggy. They should last about 2 weeks in the frig. Enjoy!

Tip - I use half white flour and half wheat for better nutritional value and you'd never know by the taste it was half wheat. It's amazing!
