Looking for tortilla recipe

  • Does anyone have a recipe for making tortilla shellls or soft tacos. I know that there isn't much in them except flour salt and water. Can any one help me with this recipe?
  • I just made some last night! Here is the orginal recipe (I will put my modified version that I made last night to follow):
    2 cups flour
    1 tsp salt
    3 tbls shortening
    1 tsp baking powder
    3/4 cup water

    Modified version: (Makes 16 rather thick tortillas. If you like thinner ones, recalculate points) 1.5 points each
    2 cups whole wheat flour
    2 cups white flour
    2 tsp salt
    2 tsp baking powder
    3 tbls shortening
    1 1/2 - 2 cups water

    Mix dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. (I think the shortening could be decreased more and they would still be tasty.) Stir in water. (I like a soft dough and use more flour when rolling out.) Roll out on a flour covered board to desired thickness. Place on hot griddle a minute or 2 on each side. Keep warm in a covered dish while making the rest.
