My husband swears by these.

4 cups flour

1¼ teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons vegetable shortening

approximately 1¼ cups boiling water

Sift together the flour and salt into a large bowl. Mix the shortening in by hand until the mixture resembles cornmeal and feels slightly gritty to the touch. Stir in enough boiling water that the dough sticks together. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for approximately 5 minutes. Form dough into a ball, place inside the bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. After approximately 30 minutes, divide the dough into 10 to 12 balls, and roll each flat with a well-floured rolling pin. Cook in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, about 20 seconds on each side. Makes 10 to 12 tortillas.
