NaBloPoMoNoProFoNo #15: Taco tuesday part Tres (Subtitled: tortilla recipe HALP?)

Well, so far in this unintentionally taco-themed week I've posted taco meat, fixins, and refried beans, but one key element is missing...tortillas!

Yeah, I don't have a flour tortilla recipe.  I've tried multiple ones and my tortillas always turn out too thick and not bendy enough.  Sort of more like a pita, or maybe a gordita.  (I've never tried my hand at corn tortillas, although honestly I don't like them as much).

Most store-bought flour tortillas don't pass the kitchen test, and maybe more importantly, my husband hates the way store-bought tortillas taste.




I discovered the Tortilla Land uncooked tortillas at Safeway and they actually do pass the kitchen test, plus they are husband's-tastebuds-approved, but I'd really prefer to be making them from scratch.

 Someone with an awesome flour tortilla recipe and/or tortilla-making tips. heeelp!  (Uh, important note, I refuse to bake/cook with lard or shortening....butter or oil only.  So that might be the source of my problems, but I'm not sure).
