Managed to make edible homemade tortillas today. Also discovered a pretty good homemade enchilada sauce. If only I had discovered these things while I wasn't in the middle of a weight-loss competition.
Homemade tortillas (Food storage only!)
4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 T baking soda
Whisk these together. Add
1/2 cup shortening. Mix this in with your hand or a pastry cutter. Mix very well, until the mix looks like moist crumbs. This will take a few minutes
Add about 1 cup of water. Knead until mixture forms a soft dough that isn't sticky (you may need more water). Break dough into small balls, and use a rolling pin to flatten. Cook on frying pan until browned on each side.
Enchilada sauce
1 small can tomato sauce
1/4 cup roasted red chili sauce
Cumin
Chili powder
Small can green chilies
Mix the ingredients together, and use in place of enchilada sauce.
I am tired of buying enchilada sauce, especially since my favorite brand never goes on sale. As soon as red peppers go on sale, I'm roasting them and canning this sauce.
