Hey Everyone!
For the life of me I can NOT find the written directions for just plain tortilla shells..I can find the cinnamon/sugar ones and the zesty ones w/ the peach salsa but just not the regular ones..now I think I know basically all the steps but I have a host who wants the exact steps and I don't wanna mess up!
THANKS everyone!

Just cut flour tortillas into wedges and put them on a stone. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Yum.

Here is a simple recipe for plain tortilla shells:Ingredients:- 2 cups all-purpose flour- 1/2 teaspoon salt- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil- 3/4 cup warm waterInstructions:1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the vegetable oil and mix until the flour resembles coarse crumbs.2. Slowly add in the warm water, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.4. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.5. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla on the hot surface and cook for about 30 seconds, until small bubbles start to form.7. Flip the tortilla and cook for an additional 30 seconds on the other side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.8. As each tortilla is cooked, place it on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and moist.9. Serve the tortillas warm with your favorite fillings or toppings.Enjoy your homemade tortilla shells!
