The ingredients for Tortilla are:

1.25 c oil
7 c all purpose flour
1.5 c water
2 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp baking powder

Here is how you make Tortilla:

Mix your dry ingredients Make a ?hole? in the middle of your ?mountain? of flour. Add oil (or melted vegetable lard) and water and start mixing . When the dough is firm enough to handle, knead it a bit on a flat surface. ?break? pieces off the dough (about the size of a golf ball) by squeezing it with your thumb and index finger (like you?re choking it :)) Make several round balls (called ?testales?), and place them on a floured surface (cookie sheet works great). Let the testales rest for about 30 mins. covered with a damp towel. (comments say 1 hour works best, I will try that, although it's just too long for me to wait :) Place a testal on a floured surface. Flour your rolling pin and roll. Whatever technique you use for rolling? just spread them enough so they are bout 6 inches in diameter. (do not try a tortilla press for flour tortillas :) It just doesn't work) Cook your tortillas on a ?comal?, flat griddle or skillet at medium heat (mine was on 6 on an electric stove). You don?t need to oil the skillet (there?s enough oil in there). Just like with pancakes, the 1st one is never good, but the rest are delicious. You can pile up the uncooked tortillas, they won?t stick. (but not more than 5, and keep them far from the hot stove, otherwise they DO stick together) My process is usually: flatten, place in comal, flatten another one, turn the one in the comal, flatten another one, remove the one from the comal and repeat! It takes about 1 minute to cook on the 1st side (you will see some bubbles appear on the surface, this is normal), then you turn and press with it down with a flat turner to make a bubble again it takes about 30 seconds on the second side. Do not overcook or they will turn hard like cookies. delicious cookies, but not good for burritos.
