How to Make Tortilla Wraps From Scratch

  1. Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
  2. Cut in the chilled, cubed shortening using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the warm water, mixing with a fork until a dough ball forms. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to bring the dough together.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, 6-7 inch circle. The dough may be slightly elastic; keep rolling from the center outward.
  7. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  8. Lightly grease the skillet with oil before cooking each tortilla.
  9. Cook each tortilla for 30-60 seconds per side, or until lightly browned and slightly puffy. Keep cooked tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade tortillas!
