SONORAN-STYLE FLOUR TORTILLAS
In Sonora, a Northern Mexican region where wheat has been cultivated for more than 400 years, tortillas are typically made of flour rather than corn. But unlike the generally lackluster store-bought wrappers most Americans are familiar with, handmade flour tortillas are pliable, chewy, fragrant, and dotted with mahogany blisters. While this recipe, adapted from Teo Diaz and Julia Guerrero of Sonoratown taqueria in downtown Los Angeles, isn't complicated, it does require allowing some time for the dough to rest. But the investment is worth it. Once you roll out the tortillas and set them on the hot griddle, they'll begin to puff with steam as they start to brown. When you take a bite, the aroma of sweet flour enveloped in fat will fill your nose and mouth. Finally, you'll understand that a tortilla is meant to be an essential component rather than just monotextured wrapping paper for tacos, burritos, or chimichangas.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Place bowl onto mixer, and affix paddle attachment. Mix for 30 seconds at low speed, then slowly add lard in a thin stream. Allow fat to partly incorporate, then slowly pour water in a thin stream. Allow dough to come together, then increase speed to medium-low and knead for about 2 minutes. The dough will be somewhat wet, webby and shiny. Place dough in a plastic bag, and allow to rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Divide dough into 12 pieces the size of a golf ball. Roll into smooth balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic, and allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Working on a very lightly floured smooth surface, use a rolling pin to roll balls into 4-inch circles, and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Repeat with remaining dough, adding layers of parchment as needed to ensure tortillas do not touch or overlap. Cover last layer with parchment, and allow dough to rest 10 minutes.
- Heat a griddle or large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Working on a very lightly floured smooth surface, use a rolling pin to roll each tortilla into an 8-inch circle: Start with the pin in the center of the circle and roll out to the edge, rotating the tortilla after every roll. Roll until the dough is very, very thin and the edges begin to smear onto the work surface. Alternatively, stretch tortillas out by hand, rotating and pulling gently from the edges, until nearly transparent.
- When a few drops of water dripped onto the griddle or pan immediately sputter and evaporate, the cooking surface is sufficiently hot. Gently peel the tortilla off the work surface, and lay onto the griddle. It should immediately sizzle and puff lightly. Cook, rotating, for 20 to 30 seconds per side, until lightly golden in spots. Stack in a resealable plastic bag to allow to steam and soften. Continue with remaining tortillas.
- Serve warm or use to make tacos, quesadillas or burritos.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Either by hand or with a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening till the mixture is crumbly. If the mixture looks more floury than crumbly, be sure to add just one or two more tablespoons of shortening till it is crumbly. Add about 3/4 cup hot water to the mixture, or just enough to make the ingredients look moist.
- With your hand or a large fork, knead the mixture making sure to rub the dough against the sides of the large mixing bowl to gather any clinging dough. If the dough still sticks to the side of the bowl, add a couple more tablespoons of flour until the dough forms a soft round shape. The dough is ready to roll out now, but it is best to let it rest. Cover it with a dish towel, and let it sit for about an hour or so.
- Take the dough, and pull it apart into 10 to 12 balls. Lightly flour your rolling area, and roll each ball with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Place each tortilla on a medium hot cast iron skillet. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla does not look doughy.

TORTILLA COOKIE CRISPS
Created from tortilla chips which were crushed.At Christmas time, recipe is called Rummy Tortilla Cookie Crisps with rum added. They are crispy, crunchy and soft.10 minutes for soft, 12 minutes for crispy. Note: If you add more brown sugar plus spices and white chocolate chips as the reviewer stated, this will be a crisper sweeter cookie. I really appreciated the comments, but watch...being flatter, they will burn easily. I drizzle a white glaze on top for gift giving.

Steps:
- In mixing bowl, add the first six ingredients. Beat on low speed about 2 minutes, then medium speed until blended.
- In another mixing bowl, add flour, soda and walnuts. Mix well.
- Add flour mixture to sugar egg mixture in two portions. Mix after each addition.
- Take out beaters.
- Add crushed tortillas two cups at a time. Mix with spoon. Then add two more cups, mix.
- Make sure that the tortillas are crushed very fine. I have rough crushed and fine crushed and the latter works the best.
- The last two cups mix in, the "dough" will be a little stiff. But mix well.
- Preheat oven 375°F.
- Take heaping tablespoon and drop on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Note: I used a little over a 1/3 cup of evaporated milk this time and it seemed that the cookie dough was creamier.
- Bake 10 minutes light and soft and chewy.
- Bake 12 minutes brown and crispy and chewy.
- Let set 5 minutes then take off of sheets.
- I like to put the cookies on the upper top racks of the oven. It seems to cook evenly.
- Note:.
- Do not use black sheets. Bottoms get too done and tops not cooked enough.
- Servings based on 3 large cookies per person.
- Cooking time is for two sheets at a time.
- Note: You may add cinnamon instead of Chinese Five Spice. Do not use both.
- Note: You may use 1 1/2 tsp powdered anise with the addition of the rum and add a little more brown sugar.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, vegetable oil and salt in a bowl. Pour over 150ml warm water and knead to bring the mixture together. Remove from the bowl and knead on a lightly floured work surface for around 5 mins until you make a soft, smooth ball of dough. Cover with a clean tea towel and rest for at least 15 mins before rolling out.
- Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces (about 75g each). Roll out each ball of dough as thinly as possible on a floured work surface. They should make rounds about 20 cm wide, 2mm thick.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas for 1-2 mins on each side until golden brown and toasted. Wrap them in foil and cover in a tea towel to keep warm, while you cook the rest. Keeps for two days well wrapped, or cool, wrap and freeze for up to three months.
