Tortilla Shells

Olé! It's fajita night at our house tonight. I decided to skip past the pre-packaged tortilla shells at the grocery store today, and opted to make my own instead. Here's a quick, easy recipe for you, so you can enjoy homemade tortillas, too! YUM!

Homemade Tortilla Shells

• 2 cups white flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 5 tbsp butter
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup cold water

1. In food processer, quickly mix together flour, salt and baking powder.
2. Drop in butter, 1 tbsp at a time. Combine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (about 10-15 seconds).
3. With processor back on, slowly pour in cold water. Stop as soon as a ball is formed.
4. Dump dough onto floured surface and knead a few times, ensuring it's not too sticky. Divide into 8 pcs.
5. Roll each pc into a ball and let rest a few minutes.
6. In the meantime, heat cast iron skillet on high.
7. Roll out one ball into a 10" circle, then place in skillet. While it's heating, roll next ball into circle. Flip tortilla after about 60 seconds (give or take 15 seconds, depending on heat. You want it to be browning nicely). Cook on second side 30-45 seconds, then remove from heat. Start cooking next tortilla, and roll out next ball while waiting, etc.
8. Serve tortilla shells warm Enjoy!
