Navajo Taco Tortilla

How to make Navajo Taco Tortilla Recipe - Unlike traditional tortillas, this one is made with wheat flour, then fried to golden, puffy deliciousness. You can top it with anything, or even break it apart for use with salsa, but its best use is as the base for the Navajo Taco.

Makes 4 tortillas

Ingredients:
¾ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Dash of salt
¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons warm water
Vegetable oil for frying

Method:
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a small mixing bowl. Add warm water and work until just combined, but not overworked (do not knead!). Form a ball.

With well-floured hands, break the ball into four small balls. Roll into discs with a rolling pin or use a tortilla press. If dough is too sticky for rolling or pressing, add more flour in small increments. If dough is too dry, add more water.

Heat an inch of vegetable oil and fry a tortilla until golden brown and crispy, about 45 seconds per side. Tortilla should puff like a pillow.
