Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or lard
- 3/4 cup warm water
- Choice of fillings (e.g., grilled beef, chicken, beans, cheese, avocado, salsa)
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix in the oil or lard until crumbly. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Shape the Tortillas: Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin circle with a rolling pin.
- Cook the Tortillas: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with your choice of fillings and toppings. Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite condiments.
