Appalled at the amt of sodium in these tortillas!

Here's my recipe for low sodium Tortilla Shells - they are easy to make and don't take much time - about 30 min from start to finish. Give 'em a try!


Karen’s Homemade Low Sodium Tortilla Shells

3 cups Robin Hood unbleached flour
2 tsp. Calmut Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Morton Iodized Salt

4 Tbsp. Blue Bonnet Light Margarine

1+1/4 cups slightly warm tap water

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in low fat margarine with a fork or pastry cutter, like you would for pie crust. Next, add warm water a little at a time until dough is soft but not sticky. Knead the dough for a few minutes. Pull off pieces of dough to form 12 small dough balls. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes. The longer the rest time, the better they roll out. On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball with a floured rolling pin. Roll fairly thin. Over medium heat, in a large skillet or griddle pan - sprayed with cooking spray – fry the tortilla shell about 30 seconds per each side. Little brown speckles indicate when they are done.
Yield - 12 shells
