Easy Kids Meals

Tonight was our Mexican Food night but I really didn’t have any great ideas.  The kids didn’t want rice so and I didn’t have tortillas.  Then it occurred to me that maybe I should give it a whirl.  The whole batch took me about 25 minutes to make.

• 4 cups flour

• 1.5 tsp baking powder

• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

• ½ cup shortening

• 1.25 cups hot  water

1. Put the flour, baking powder, seasoning, shortening into a standing mixer with a paddle, 

2. After a few minutes pour the water in as a stream

3. When dough forms change out the paddle for the dough hook and mix for a few minutes

4. Divide evenly (mine made about 12 tortillas)

5. Roll out as thin as you can

6. Heat a frying pan over medium heat

7. Cook the tortilla on the first side till it bubbles

8. Flip and cook the other side
