Making Homemade Tortilla's

I make my own tortilla's. It is amazing how easy they are. I have a simple recipe that makes about 50 tortilla's. You can divide it in half if you chose to do so. It is easy. Measure out 8 cups of flour in a bowl, if you have a Bosch Mixer pour it in the mixing bowl. Add 3 tsp. of salt and 2/3 cup of oil, blend together with dough hook. Then add 3 cups of hot water. As hot as you can get it out of the tap. Mix all together. If you have a Bosch Mixer mix enough to get all the liquid mixed into the flour. Do not over mix, I can't stress that enough. Do not over mix. Just mix until flour is all mixed in. If you are doing it by hand do the same. Make sure the dough is very soft. You may have to add another tiny bit of hot water. About 2 tbsp. Your next step is to form into balls. About the size of a golf ball. Let them all sit covered for about 30 minutes. Then roll them out. A little rolling pin is the greatest thing to use. Because you can actually make them into a circle. Have fun.
