Beef tacos with homemade tortilla shells <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s actually not that hard at all . It’s better if you have someone helping you . My husband was in the kitchen with me tonight ( every night actually , he always helps ) , so while I’m rolling the dough , he’s in charge to cook the dough , which took literally seconds from start to finish for each shell . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s good if you have cast iron skillet but otherwise regular skillet would be okay too . Make sure you have plastic wrap and rolling pin . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients : <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 1\/2 cups all purpose flour <\/li>
  • 1 tsp baking powder <\/li>
  • 1\/2 tsp kosher salt <\/li>
  • 50 grams canola oil <\/li>
  • 200 grams hot tap water <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Directions : <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    • Mix the flour and salt and baking powder in a mixer bowl with dough hook attached .<\/li>
    • Make a well in the center , add oil and probably about 3\/4 of the water in your measuring cup you measured earlier . Reason you don’t pour them all at once is because the condition of your house ( humidity level) can effect the dough . As the dough being kneaded , you’ll be able to tell if it’s too dry , if it is just add little bit more water . Until it’s smooth , cleans the side if the bowl and not too dry not sticky . It has the tacky feeling . <\/li>
    • Cover , let it rest for 15 minutes .<\/li>
    • Divide the dough to 12 equal pieces . <\/li>
    • I’d use plastic wrap , place one dough ball on it , flatten it with my palm and cover with plastic , the start rolling . Turning each time to make it equal round shape . About 6-8 inches in diameter . <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
