Homemade Tortillas

Homemade Tortillas (Our Best Bites)

2 1/2 c. flour

1 c. very hot water

1 tsp. Kosher salt

1/4 c. shortening

Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in the shortening until it looks like little crumbs. Add the hot water (put tap water in the microwave for 30-45 sec) a little at a time until dough forms. Roll into balls (about 8-10). Then on a slightly floured surface roll them out from the middle to form circles. (notice mine aren't circles....this is the part I let the kids help with. They roll their own and I always make sure to ask them if they make good tacos...they always say "yes!") Place on a hot griddle to cook. Look for big bubbles. When they appear, flip it over and cook other side for 30-45 sec. Store wrapped in tin foil, in a tortilla warmer, or just stacked up while warm. They are really yummy!
