Tortilla LOVE & Recipe

Hello Again,

I am trying to keep up with my blog these days - we shall see how that goes...


Life has been so busy .....with try to keep up with all the watering in the greenhouse

Plus- Cooking and Baking like Crazy and Spring Cleaning....ugh all keeping me busy....

Im exhausted these days....

Anyhow...I have really been cooking up a ton of Tortillas ... I try to make them on a regular basis -but life gets in the way...

Plus I want the recipe to stay fresh in my head .

Here is the recipe I use for Fresh Flour Tortillas:
2 cups flour
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 cup vegetable shortening or 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄2 cup warm water (may possibly need to add more, up to 3/4 cup) or 1⁄2 cup milk (may possibly need to add more, up to 3/4 cup)







Mixed the flour , salt , baking powder first then mix in the vegetable shortening - then the water... You get this ball or Tortilla dough




Cover Ball of Dough with towel or plastic wrap for 20-30 minutes
#Tortilla #Recipe

I roll little balls with my fingers that look like this #Tortillas





They look like this right before I start rolling them out..




First couple of rolls of the Tortilla



Tortilla all rolled out and ready for the hot pan




Tortilla bubbling in the hot pan
Almost ready to eat! #yum





All the Tortilla go in this nice basket to stay warm



My favorite Mexican basket full of freshly made warm Tortilla 
Now time to dig in ...Yummy






The First Cilantro leaves picked from my Cilantro plant were perfect or a taco.



Cilantro fixes perfectly in my Taco of Machacado
Aka Shredded beef made with eggs, onions, tomatoes
Yumminess for sure Mexican food at its best.




I hope this helps you make some delicious Tortillas and Tacos!

Happy Cooking!
