Here’s a classic Tortillas de Harina (flour tortillas) recipe — soft, pliable, and perfect for tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.

🌮 Tortillas de Harina (Flour Tortillas)

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 8–10 tortillas)

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
2 tbsp lard, shortening, or unsalted butter
¾ cup warm water (adjust as needed)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder.

2️⃣ Incorporate Fat

Add lard, shortening, or butter.
Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3️⃣ Add Water & Knead

Gradually add warm water and knead into a smooth, soft dough (about 5–7 minutes).
Dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky.

4️⃣ Rest the Dough

Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
Let rest 20–30 minutes — this relaxes gluten and makes tortillas easier to roll.

5️⃣ Divide & Roll

Divide dough into 8–10 equal balls.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle (6–8 inches).

6️⃣ Cook the Tortillas

Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Cook each tortilla 1–2 minutes per side, until lightly browned and puffed in spots.
Keep cooked tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel.

🔥 Tips for Soft Tortillas

Don’t overcook; they dry out quickly.
Use warm water for a softer dough.
Wrap cooked tortillas in a towel to keep them pliable.
