I am a sucker for homemade tortillas. I can't even tell you when the last time was that I actually bought them from the store. It's been a long time. These are so easy to make. If you can mix, roll and put on a griddle - then you can make these.
Homemade Tortillas
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup hot water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in water and oil. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and has no lumps. Cover dough with a towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Divide dough into 10 pieces. (You can do 12 if you really want to. I like my tortillas thicker.) Roll into balls.
Roll each tortilla into a circle about 8 inches round. You are allowed to roll these babies as thick/thin as you like. I like them thick.
Place on hot griddle. Turn over when these brown spots begin to appear.
Tacos anyone? How about enchiladas? Quesadillas? What was that you said? You wanted a cheese quesadilla with taco soup? Okay. :)

put me down for cheese enchiladas when my taste comes back. i'll even bring the enchilada sauce and cheese!
Thanks for posting this- I have a recipe we use that calls for shortening but I'd much rather use oil. And I'm totally impressed that your tortillas are circular. Mine come out looking like different states of America or something- but they still taste good!
