Mix the dry ingredients well. Add shortening and work in flour with hands until all the shortening is worked into the flour. Start with one cup of water, adding a little bit at a time working into the flower as you go. Need dough in bowl to get all the flower off the side of the bowl.

Take out of the bowl and need on the table. About 5 mins. Put back in bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel for at least 30 mins.

Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll into a ball pinch bottom with one hand press in with the other, and roll into a ball . Gently press so it makes a fixed disc. Gently flour the outside and place on tray or plate.

Place a dry cast-iron pan on the stove and set the heat between medium and high.

When you start rolling the dough start from middle roll forward and middle roll back. Turn and repeat. Roll out very thin. Place on pan and wait for tortilla to bubble. When it bubbles flip it over. When it’s done place in a tortilla warmer. Or on a plate covered with a towel.

When tortillas are cool, put in Ziploc bag and store in fridge.

To warm heat the pan and place on hot pan, just to warm.
