Taco Shells

This is another church/family recipe that has been around ever since I can remember. This is my preferred tortilla.
**************************************
Ingredients needed:
3 cups white/wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
½ cup shortening
approx. 2 cups lukewarm water

1. In medium mixing bowl, mix 3 cups of flour with 1 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. baking powder, ½ cup shortening.
2. Add approximately 2 cups warm water.
3. Mix dough until sticky.
4. Let set for one hour.
5. Roll dough into 2 inch balls, roll out, place on medium temp griddle, cook until shell starts to bubble, flip over, cook for another 15 seconds, then place in warmer. Repeat until all shells cooked.

Makes about 1 and 1/2 dozen shells.
********************************
Variations:
As with the pizza dough, you can use straight wheat or straight white flour. I have grown up on half of each and like it that way best.

ENJOY!!
