Making your own tortillas will make it easy to form them into bowls...
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine dry dough ingredients
  • Slowly mix in water until consistency is soft, but not sticky
  • Turn out dough on floured surface and knead until smooth
  • Form ball
  • Cover in plastic wrap and set aside for at least 30 minutes
  • Break into 10 - 12 pieces
  • Roll into 3" balls
  • Cover with damp cloth for 10 minutes
