- 2 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
- ½ Cup Vegetable Shortening (3 1/2 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 Cup Warm Water
In the bowl of a mixer, place the flour, shortening and salt.
Beat with the paddle until crumbly, about 3-5 minutes. With the mixer running, gradually add the warm water and continue mixing until the dough is smooth, about 3 minutes.
Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Roll each into a ball and place on a baking tray or board. Cover with a towel and let rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour.
Take a small piece of dough and place on a lightly floured board, roll into a 10″ circle and put aside. Finish rolling remaining tortillas
To cook, heat a comal or dry skillet over medium heat and cook to desired crispness.










Hello! My name is Chris and I'm an engineer and a photographer / contributor for Apartment Therapy. In high school my artistic side took a back seat as I pursued a career in math and science. Blogging, however, gives me the chance to bring that creative side front and center again. I'm a native Texan, living in Austin, and love all the things you'll find in a modern metropolis - technology, design, food, and the arts. I hope those interests come together here in pieces you enjoy reading. Thanks for stopping by.
