Wheat Tortillas

Wheat Tortillas

These are really great, and they can be refrigerated or frozen if you have extras. One recipe batch makes about 18 tortillas (depending on how big you want them). 

 Ingredients

1 cup flour
4 cups wheat flour
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups boiling water

Directions:

Stir flours and salt. Rub in shortening by hand until the mix reaches the texture of oatmeal. Make a well in the center of the dough pour in boiling water. Mix with a fork until evenly mixed. Knead until dough is not sticky. 
Make mix into balls the size of golf balls. Place on greased tray; cover with a cloth and let sit for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours. 
Heat frying pan over medium-high heat. Roll out tortillas until desired thickness. Fry for 30 seconds on one side, then flip and fry for 30 seconds on other side.
