I was so nervous to try this recipe, but it worked great! I used 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 cup wheat flour and butter flavored shortening (all I had). I made them thin and about 6-7" getting about 12. When rolling them out, if you roll up and down then move the tortilla a few inches clockwise and roll up and down again and keep doing this, it stretches the dough and makes circles easy. All of mine were circular and it was my first time, so it does work Thanks so much for broadening my horizons!

Loved the ease of this recipe. I made half a recipe and got 4 tortillas. Very easy and good flavor. Served with Pollo Con Salsa Verde (Chicken With Green Sauce).

Wish I could make this a 10 star. After trying numerous recipes, unsuccessfully,this was perfect. I followed recipe exactly but discovered that if I formed the dough into balls and refrigerated them overnight, that they rolled out much easier and thinner. I have a tortilla press so I used it and then rolled them thinner. Thank You for this wonderful recipe.

This was my first time ever making tortillas from scratch. I needed tortillas for dinner tonight but couldn't go out because both of my kids have pnemonia, so I found this recipe and decided to give it a try! I can't believe how simple these are to make...why have I been buying them at the store for so many years when this delicious recipe was right under my nose. I did have to add about a tablespoon more of crisco to get the pea-size balls and I used all the water the recipe called for. This dough is very easy to work with...not sticky at all and these tortillas taste delicious! Great tasting and little effort...what more could you ask for? Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
