(Makes 8 tortillas)
4 cups of flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup of water many substitute warm milk for a fluffier texture)
1/2 cups vegetable shortening (or lard)
Mix flour, salt, & baking powder in a large bowl. Cut in shortening/lard until lumps are gone. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually add water and work mixture into a dough. Knead until smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky but not hard. You can add slightly more water or flour if needed. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Make the dough into balls about the size of eggs. Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into about a 6 inch circle. Heat griddle or skillet on medium heat without grease. Cook tortilla 30-60 secs (if it starts to bubble, that's long enough). Flip tortilla to the other side and cook for a few seconds. Continue until all your dough is cooked. Then you can eat!
To fold a burrito, place your favorite filling in the center of the flour tortilla. Fold the bottom eighth of the tortilla up, and then wrap the outer edges in. This makes a pocket at one end, and the other open end is where you start eating. This method keeps the filling from falling out.
To wrap a burrito like Taco Bell, start by placing the filling in the center of the tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Fold in the sides as you roll to keep the filling secure.
A "burrito" is made by wrapping in a roll whatever you want into a flour tortilla and a "taquito" is made by folding a tortilla in half (corn or flour) and placing whatever you want in the fold.
Burrito.
