 Of course! Making homemade tortilla shells can be a fun and rewarding experience. Here's a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* ¾ cup warm water

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
2. Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces.
6. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it slightly into a disk shape using a rolling pin or your hands.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
8. Place a tortilla shell on the skillet and cook for 30-45 seconds on each side, until it's lightly browned and pliable.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Tips:

* Use a cast iron skillet or a comal to cook the tortillas for a more authentic flavor.
* If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
* To store tortillas for later use, wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
