Genius Flour Tortillas

I needed a vegan recipe so this fit the bill - the fat is vegetable shortening and there is no milk. These are very similar to other tortillas I have made (flour, baking powder, fat) and they came out very good, if not a little stiffer and thinner than my usual (Homesick Texan's San Antonio Style). The real difference here is the use of cake flour and a tortilla press. I had never used a tortilla press for FLOUR tortillas, always just rolled them out as I had seen growing up. The press was helpful in getting a more perfectly round tortilla but I still rolled them a bit to make them large enough for a decent sized taco.
