How To make Mexican Tortillas
225 g Polenta (Maize Meal)
1 ts Salt
225 g Plain white flour
25 g Lard or margarine
300 ml Warm water
Mix the maize meal, salt and white flour in a large bowl, add the lard or margarine and rub in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the water and mix to a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a short time until smooth. Shape the dough into 4 equal balls, roughly the size of a tennis ball, and let them rest for about an hour covered with a damp tea towel. Roll each ball out thinly on the floured surface to a circle about 25cm (10 inch) in diameter. Heat an ungreased griddle or large frying pan and fry the maize meal pancakes over a fairly high heat, turning them over so they are lightly brown on each side. Variations. The tortilla is a multi-purpose bread and can be served as it is, a thin, flat cornbread to accompany food. It can also be used as a platter or scoop for thick meat or bean mixtures. It can be fried on one side only and rolled round a chilli-and-bean stuffing to become a Taco, or stuffed, sometimes fried and coated in sauce when it is known as an Enchillada. Finally, it can be sprinkled with sweet mixtures and served as a pudding. Original source unknown.

FLOUR TORTILLAS / how to make /PERFECT Step by Step ❤
■ If you live in a drier State you might have to use less baking powder and shortening, if you feel them a little hard, then use only 1/4 tsp baking powder and 2 Tbsp shortening...try which works best for you.❤
Tortillas are a sure thing in most Tex-Mex cooking,they are a great accompaniment to almost any dish and are the basis for soft tacos and burritos, and are a must for sopping up. Homeade flour tortillas are superior to store bought, they are rolled with a rolling pin and baked on a comal (flat griddle) one by one. Tortilla techniques can be mastered with practice over time. Five basic ingredients make the best flour tortillas; flour, shortening, baking powder, salt and water, and one of the best tips for making the BEST flour tortillas is to let your dough rest 15 to 45 minutes before rolling. Flour tortillas can be refrigerated for days without little or no loss of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
3 C. All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 & 3/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp shortening
1 C. hot water (not to burn you)
■ Depending on where you live, you might have to make an adjustment with baking powder and shortening if they are a little hard on you...use 1/4 the baking powder istead of 1/2 tsp and 2 Tbsp shortening instead of 3...I adjust between Texas and Ohio. ❤
