The ingredients for Texas Tortillas are:

2 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp olive oil
3/4 c. milk

Here is how you make Texas Tortillas:

Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and oil. Slowly add the (warmed) milk. Knead for two minutes on a floured surface. Dough should be firm and soft. Place in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap for 20 minutes.After the dough has rested, break into eight sections, roll them into balls, and place them on a plate (not touching). Cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes. (Don't skip any of the 'resting' steps; they help to give the dough the right consistency).After dough has rested, place the dough balls, one at a time, on a floured surface, pat it out into a four-inch circle, then roll with a rolling pin into an eight-inch circle. Don't overwork the dough.Cook the tortillas one at a time in a cast iron skillet heated on high, for about 30 seconds on each side. Keep tortillas covered with a napkin until ready to eat.Makes 8 tortillas.(Adapted from The Border Cookbook, by Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison)Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JILL4SHORT.
