So I have been trying to make my own tortillas. I’ll found a recipe online that was flour, water, oil, and salt that seemed decent but wasn’t very good. I essentially made tortilla shaped crackers. I’m high altitude, but with nothing rising I’m not sure that matters? Anyone have a good recipe they can share? I’m kinda going for authentic styles that you would get at a taco shop.
Thanks!
Try using lard or shortening instead of oil, like this:

This looks like a good recipe. Lots of great comments that I’m going to try.
Thanks for the reply!
Damn that sounds really unhealthy
Edit: Apparently I was really wrong. Sorry for upsetting everybody
Shortening has like, the same number of calories as oil
That’s just like, your opinion, man
Seriously though, agreed.
It’s an authentic delicious tortilla recipe. Nobody asked for a crappy lite tortilla recipe. Not cool to yuck someone else’s yum man.
Fat is fat.
Also if you’ve ever had flour tortillas, they were probably made with shortening.
