Notes
- You can use other oils as well. Or try using a solid fat- lard, shortening or coconut oil. Just cut it into the flour before kneading.
- If the dough is tough to roll out, then let it rest it a few more minutes.
- If the tortillas are too crispy, then either lower the heat or cook less so you ensure you have tender tortillas.
- For homemade chips, cut tortillas into wedges and bake at 350 degrees until crisp . Add a touch of oil and seasonings of your choice like salt and chili powder.
