I found this in an old kids' recipe book. It adds that extra homemade touch if you're making quesadillas or fajitas or whatever! They make a good snack on their own too. NOTE: If you want bigger tortillas (mine probably end up about 6 in diameter) you may want to double the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon shortening
1/3 cup warm milk
butter (to taste)
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients except butter and milk.
2. Slowly add milk.
3. Knead.
4. Form 6 or 7 balls, then roll or pat flat. (The thickness is up to you).
5. Cook in ungreased skillet. (Be sure to watch so they don't burn and flip them regularly).
6. Butter to taste and enjoy!
