How do u make tortilla shells?

Flour Tortillas

Serving Size : 12



4 cups Unbleached all purpose flour

2 teaspoons Salt

4 teaspoons Baking powder

2 tablespoons Vegetable shortening

1 1/2 cups Warm water or more if needed





In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt and baking powder. With a pastry blender, a fork or your hands, gradually work in the lard or shortening until it is all incorporated. Add enough warm water to make a soft but not sticky dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 5 minutes.

Divide the dough into 1/4 cup (3 oz) portions and form them into balls.

Roll each ball into a flat round about 6 inches in diameter and 1/8 inches thick.

Heat a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. Place the tortillas one at a time into the dry hot skillet; cook until brown on one side, then turn and brown the other side.

Remove from the skillet and keep warm in cloth towel.

Reply:1 cup Bisquick and 2 cups flour enough water to make a dough that is soft but not sticky. form into balls the size you want your tirtilla's to be cover with a towel let rest. roll out on a smooth surface. No need for flour or anything they should come right off heat pan and cook on each side until done. I place mine in a towel that is folded to keep them warm and soft.

Reply:The easiest way is to buy Tortilla Mix from the store. The instructions are on the bag. It's a dry mix that is on the shelf with the cornbread and cornmeal mixes.
