HOW TO MAKE TORTILLAS

CORN TORTILLAS

1 cup white or wheat flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 3/4 tsp. salt, 2 T. oil, 2/3 cup warm water.

Knead several minutes. Divide dough into 12 balls. Roll the tortillas out thin. Heat oil in a 14" skillet till very hot. Fry one at a time for 35-40 seconds.

FLOUR TORTILLAS

5 cups flour, 1/2 cup shortening, 1 tsp salt, 1 to 1/2 to 2 c. hot water

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Put out on a floured board when a ball is formed. Knead until pliable. Pinch off pieces about 2" in diameter and roll out to 6"-8". Cook in a dry cast iron skillet or on a griddle. Cook on each side until bubbles that form are browned. Push down large bubbles when turning for last time with a cloth.

REFRIED BEANS

Soak 2 C pinto beans and 1 chopped onion overnight in 2 quarts of water. Cook beans in water until tender (2-3 hours) checking to be sure the beans do not dry out. Add 1 tsp salt (or more to taste) and 1/4 cup oil. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth while still hot.

BEAN BURRITO

Make refried beans using PINTO BEANS. Sprinkle cheese or dehydrated cheese over the beans. Put 2-3 tablespoons bean mixture on a pliable tortilla and sprinkle in a little taco sauce. Roll the tortilla with the ends tucked in to keep the filling in.
